The case for the defence

The ball over the top, that Vicario had to rush out for.

Our shape is a complete mess, VDV is way too high, not even close to being in line with Danso, and miles away from his man, we left the fudging gate wide open.

It was a shambles from the start.
We have been done with those clips over the top far too often recently. MVDV has the positional sense of 3 legged hamster
 
If Romero and Dragusin end up at Real Madrid in the summer then perhaps we should bring back Tanganga as a homegrown 4th choice CB… or maybe 3rd choice should Vuskovic decide to join Kane at Bayern…

Dragusin at Real Madrid? I guess with his hair he could pass for a woman and play for the RM ladies team.
 
It’s who we are mate… wish that Werner and Muani would’ve chipped in with a few volleys of this calibre over the past 2 seasons though…

In the 100 PL matches since that “It’s just who we are, mate” game we’ve conceded the 3rd most goals in top flight, hopefully RDZ can get us out of this 2.5 year long negative spiral and (with the addition of some proper cover for Udogie) get us defending properly again 🙏

PL goals conceded since November 2023

Wolves 180
West Ham 177
Tottenham 171
Brentford 154
Saudi Sportswashing Machine 149
Fulham 146
Forest 146
Man U 144
Bournemouth 143
Brighton 142

For comparison, in our previous 100 PL games we conceded 131 goals.

It is impressive how you have managed to come up with around 1,000 different posts with a new variant of a stat basically saying the same thing - we have been brick for ages :) ....

Well it seems some on here blame poor old Thomas Frank for everything that’s wrong at the moment and whilst he’s undoubtedly a large part of the problem the reality is our decline belong long before that… strewth…
