Watch the pass received by Doumbia (the most dangerous CSKA player) again. We had the Defense back & set. Zaba was ball watching with VK closed together & not covering Doumbia who was on his right. It should have been a heads up play for Zaba!
Yes Ball was turnover by Clichy but that did not lead to a breakaway or close to the goalmouth. Its easy to scapegoat Clichy eh?
So you are going to blame the player who turnover a ball that led eventually to a goal even if there are enough defenders back for cover ? Unbelievable!
Yes, yes I am. I'd be pretty sure you never played football or any sport at any level at all...between Clichy giving the ball away and it ending up in our net I'd say was about 4/5 seconds. Our backline seen the daft c*nt with the ball, thought "ok we have possession lets get forward" quickley followed "what the fuck....eh..huh...daft French twat".
You are clearly trying to make Zabs the scapegoat for a horrendous mistake by Clichy...you are in a minority of one if you think it was anyone else's fault but Clichy and he'd tell you himself as you could see by his reaction.
Now go back to watching sumo, karate or whatever's more natural you numpty
I can assure you I have played competitive football & still am playing football in an over 35 yo men's league @ age 60 plus. I am still in great shape. Whereas you are probably playing fantasy football on you playstation & have a beer belly & 3 stones overweight ;)
Why get personal when you don't know Jack about me! Foolish of you. Don't you think so to assume?
Watch the the sequence of events when CSKA counterattacked & we have our Clichy upfront joined the attack prior to that . Clichy tracked backed with pace, CSKA player lost the ball & Clichy was in full flight in close proximity facing our goal. He made a side clearance which in most cases are difficult to have the loft to clear under the circumstances.
Nevertheless CSKA regained possession in our half . We still have the defense & we were not outnumbered. Watch Zaba & VK close together ball watching & not covering any CSKA player. We have 5 City players defending (3 in the center & 2 on the left) the left side, none of them in the centre went over to their right to cover Doumbia.
Zaba was not covering his right flank which allowed Doumbia (his man) to slip through. Zaba should not have been in the centre as there were 2
You have a 'hard on to persecute Clichy'. Why else are you still blaming him for that goal!!
Opponents have sussed up to our wingbacks (Zaba included) when they joined in our attacks which leave us vulnerable to rapid counterattacks. That's a tactic we have to address.
If you played football, obviously you don't, the role of a RB here in this instance is to cover & marked your man on your right especially within your zone. That's Poor defending for a RB!!!
