Losing your main center back is pretty much to worse thing that can happen to a squad. Go look at Liverpools win record without VVD, Arse without Saliba, City without Dias. All dropped significantly.
We are without both CBs and our keeper. Our first choice backup CB injured and replaced with an 18 year old who is not a CB.
We have continued to score plenty of goals through this patch, but simply cannot stop the rot at the back.
So, what should Ange have done against Forest? Park the bus and let them attack our makeshift defence? Or control the game, dominate the ball and score as we always do?
I'm not sure he got the game wrong. They didn't create much and their goal was a product of poor defending. We dominated the ball, but our players didn't deliver.
Kulu was too slow on the ball. Always holding onto it too long and getting tackled.
Solanke rarely looking for the goal and always with his back to goal looking to lay the ball off. He really suits being park of a strike pairing rather than a lone striker.
