We still seem to concede shed loads of goals so the improvements seems negligible.

None have come from him being stupid though
Hugo has been at fault for 3 of the 5 goals we have conceded that have been down to individual errors according to some stats I read

I also think it is a myth to think that playing 3 central defenders would automatically make us better defensively. I would rather we play a back 4, and have better protection with a midfield 3.

That's what I meant. 3 CBs is a crap formation really. It's pointless unless your opponent is playing two proper CFs.

More individual errors when you don't have possession though. GKs in more assertive teams can go through games being essentially redundant.

The old excuse
His errors havent come under pressure
We had more possession vs villa
We had more possession in the start of the second half vs arsenal when he made his mistake (3 mins of play)
I can’t remember the third one off the top of my head

It's still a probability game. You defend for 80 minutes of the game you have X chances to defend/potentially screw up on. You defend for 10 minutes you have X÷8 chances to defend/potentially screw up on

Or if a team scores form their second shot because your keeper spills the first… how does that fit in?
Or if a keeper palms a cross shot against your own player?
I get probability but it doesn’t work with human error as you can’t come up with a logic for a brain fart. I do get the comment about presumes and averages but with Hugo that doesn’t apply as he has been weak under all instances
 
You can force probability changes as a team or by counting on individual brilliance to change the odds.
 
Napoli are taking the tinkle in Italy, they are just ridiculous, playing some of the very best football in Europe.

Have a mate who is a massive Milan fan. We've been caning each other since the draw. Absolutely destroyed him today. Them losing a derby without a shot on target and us beating City was a glorious combination.

There's no way this could backfire on me right?

Will be a tough game but AC Milan side is really poor, you would hope we get past them over two legs

We better do, 'cause I've spent a fortune on tickets, accommodation and flights for the home game! I want a win and progression to the 1/4 final on my first visit to the new stadium!
