Surely you can't be blind to the real issues here..leadership is crucial in a good defense - even when Dias is not on it Stone..Laporte, Ake etc play better as they feel more assured. He is crucial to me, even if he just directs the back 3,4 or 5...Ederson just isn't the commanding type to help here when Dias isn't in. It's just a fact...this lie down bollox and not look critically curtails brilliant sides like us from keep moving forward. We have the best GD and best defenses because it is critically evaluated by our coaching staff and analysts - lose Dias and its very tough for us. Walker of course is a huge loss as well as he is so quick he can cover for lapses - i just think the coaching staff / recruitment team should keep looking at the fine margins. Having an over officious GK is anoying when your playing - but in the long run helps...as well as saving more 1 v1's then not...i hope Eddie comes back next year and flying i really do. To not talk debate these things as a football fan..well takes away a big part of being a fan. Just my opinion - i respect yours ..
