I count, what 6 players on the edge of the box after Hugo parries the shot didn't even move an inch
Remember we conceded a goal like that against Chelsea (Giroud) and players just stood around whilst the ball was rebounding around the box before they scored and the players didn't move.
This is clearly a mentality issue and this type of mediocrity has been ingrained in the club culture for too long.
First off, I’ve lost count of the times Lloris has punched or flapped at things he should just catch, that one Sunday was one of the worst I’ve seen from a keeper for a long time, really fucking weak keeping.
But look at what Moura & Bentancur do, just stand and watch Wolves players run past them into the box, then (and I highlighted last week how our defenders do this a lot) players like Doherty and Romero, instead of picking up players, who are the danger, choose to retreat into spaces and mark nobody.
This has got to be about coaching and teaching. They need to be showing the players videos and talking them through the mistakes, because it’s not fucking complicated. Track fucking runners, positioning et
I actually thought Conte had got to grips with some of this, I was actually impressed with how Conte had got Sanchez playing, but last two or three games we seem to have regressed.
And it also seems so obvious that we don’t have the midfielders rounded enough to play double pivots, none of them, and we looked noticeably better in the 352 with three CM’s in there when we’ve played that way - but Conte continually goes with the 343, (or 442 v Chelsea) and our midfield struggles, understandably to play through press or apply effective press.
