It's true that our defense is more exposed than most by the very aggressive team we put out.
But it's full of weak links, and that's been apparent for a while. You are always going to get caught out on the break the way we play, by intricate sexy football from time to time. Players will be forced to make decisions quickly and make the wrong ones, I can accept that. I can accept that since we look to spring counters, we'll eat the odd stupid pass that hurts us.
That's not how our defense fucks up though. apart from the spectacularly dumb shit we've seen recently, we routinely do the simple things badly. We are shit at defending anything in the air. We are shit at clearing loose balls. We often have players in completely useless positions defensively, even when we have time. Our CB pairings are all unconvincing, and our goalie doesn't command the box. We're still shit at set pieces. They're letting us down, and they can't always be bailed out. This team and Sami Hyppia walks the league.
