Fullbacks 08:06 - Mar 23 with 4094 views

A lot of the goals we are conceding at the moment seem to be because our fullbacks are playing more like centre backs.
Where was Yun yesterday for the first goal?He was almost on the penalty spot instead of covering his own side of the pitch.And Furlong seemed to be doing the same for the Arsenal and Palace goals.
If we can't stop giving teams easy goals,we haven't got a chance of winning games because we have to score at least twice to make up for the sloppy goals that we keep giving away.

I thought that up until the 2nd goal but I totally, totally lost it with him at that point.
We'd had a promising attack build up and he strayed offside and was too fÃºck-idle lazy to get back onside. Had he have made it back onside he would've been in the perfect position to take on Charlie's miscontrol on the edge of the area, but no. From that Everton break and score with Isla nowhere to be seen.
Tiredness can be accepted if you've put in a shift up and down that flank. Pure laziness cannot.

For the first as well. Phillips went to make a run down the line when Sandro had the ball and for some reason Isla decided to do a Baines-esque 'underlap'. Low and behold that was the side they countered down.

think you might want to re check the footage of the first goal for whos at fault , coleman should have been tracked back by the toilet and once again the toilet was picking the invisible man up on the edge of the area yun was more central than he should have been but coleman was the toilets man all day long

This.

Regardless of whether the full-backs are doing a good enough job — they're not — the wingers we're playing are doing nothing to help and track back. You watch the better-drilled Prem teams and they all go two-v-one on the opposition wingers.

I thought at the time that their first goal came after we took a quick'ish short free kick on our right about 10 to 15 yards inside our half. We played a ball to a player facing his own goal and not sure who was behind him. We then found ourselves in a tight situation and eventually lost possession from which they attacked and scored.

I think the responsible players may have been Isla passing to Ned.

If all these observations about Isla are correct then a few of us have got it wrong with MOM.
