Did his usual. Last ditch sliding chaotic tackles. Terrible crossing. Terrible positioning. Pushed someone in the box, then went into his sleepwalking mode and didn't press and the assist came from his side. Him not pressing for the goal meant that Jan had to sprint out of position. You found Jan at left back when he should have been in the middle. Jan out of position meant Toby was isolated.
It's just the usual you get from Rose. Chaos, central defenders get rattled by his terrible positioning, risky passing out the back that breaks down and he had the usual effect on Eriksen.
We could hold on with the chaos but as as soon as Townsend came on...He started doing rolly polly's in the box, Rose pushed someone in the box, we broke, offside, Rose asleep and Jan was forced out of position.
Just another day where Rose caused chaos and instability flapping around like a headless chicken. He has an amazing tackle but the rest is just a spinning top of uncertainty at the back. Was it the ball that broke the keepers face, or the massive mound of earth that shot in the air when Rose tried that cross? The only thing worse than Roses crossing was Townsends cross from the left. Into touch the opposite side.
You overload the team with derp and that what you get. Rose needs to calm the fuck down. Poch needs to realize introducing Townsend last season did for all of our trophy and 4th hopes last season.
People in here are praising one or two crazy tackles. Not his defending. With Rose it's always about his crazy antics and fight this season. Perhaps if he wasnt flapping around screaming at the ref and was more composed he would not have got stamped on?
Get him out of defense. For Jan and Eriksens sake. I didn't think it would take this soon to Jan be back into face like a smacked arse mode. We need his passion and width in the final third, not causing mushroom clouds at the back. This Frank Bruno affable loser thing is getting tired. Lost us points with the goal, and didn't even look like creating anything going forward. Perhaps I was wrong about Rose. Perhaps he can't even make it as a winger, his original position.
