If you are happy with what Lo Celso and Sessegnon, Winks did in the sequence then don’t complain that we are utter shit, because for me that’s EXACTLY why teams walk through us.
Not because the defence gets caught on the back foot.
I got it wrong about who lost possession. That was on Dier. But after that we had ample opportunity to win the ball back.
The back line actually did what they were supposed to.....which is why the ball had to go BACKWARDS for them to score.
When it did, we needed a midfield. They were not present, and when they did turn up, with Sessegnon they were atrocious.
That goal was not bad tactics, and it wasn’t on the defence. The ball was lost in THEIR half ffs
Yeah, Dier's shit because of Winks you fucking hypocrite.
We lost the ball in their half because that's where Dier was standing when he hoofed it aimlessly at them. The midfield didn't have much chance to get it back because they then PASSED it to each either with zip and incision. Like we didn't do.
He did that because that's who he is, he had Winks 3 fucking yards away looking right at him, and because the defence had spent 90 minutes doing it against Burnley, that's a manager not coaching players to pass the ball.
You've seen the evidence of it, Five posted several vids of our players just aimlessly hoofing it all day against Burnley. It was fucking garbage - but that wasn't Mourinho's fault, he was shit because Ndombele was.
