Can't really argue with that although some on here will, simply because of who he is rather than what he says. Ah well.

Not for me.
Fair analysis but I think the first goal was down to a De Jong mistake. His primary role is to protect the back four however as Neville says he's 5 yards out of position. Dzeko could have done better but De jong was the main culprit.
Second goal, I think Richards has got to hold his hands up. He's got the best view of it as Kolo is stuck in no mans land, with his heading prowess you'd expect him to win that one given his strong starting position.
Third goal, Kola and Vinny leave Kolo stranded.
I said indirectly. They weren't the only ones to blame. It was a collective effort, however you just saw Dzeko on multiple occasions failing to track back like Balotelli did. Had he, we might've not conceded two goals. Not his fault per se, but he does have an effect on the game.salfordblues said:Jumanji said:The Balkan lads really fucked us indirectly.

I do agree that De Jong's positioning should have been much better and that disappoints me.

I agree with this as he should have done better although as soon as the ball goes in the net Micah looks in pain. He had picked up a knock before that and he was subbed at HT so I think he was struggling at that point so he should be judged a little less critically
