I respectfully disagree, Abi.
First, we played zero Angeball yesterday from the 3rd min onwards. Absolutely none. It was peak Nuno/Mou/Conte cowardly shite.
Second, even if your manager wants you to always try and play out from the back, that don't apply when you're away from home, leading 1-nil and it's stopage time. It's universally known and accepted that you just kick that ball as far up the pitch as you can, then you waste time by their corner flag, getting thrown ins/corners, playing it short, getting another throw/corner or even free kick...rinse & repeat til the fat lady sings. It ain't pretty and it sure annoys the hell out of me whenever I see any team do that but it's a results business.
Dier's got zero excuse, zero mitigating circumstances for giving the ball back to them like he did...then turning his back like a coward as opposed to laying g his body on the line to stop that cross from reaching Sarabia. That's stupidity combined with laziness and cowardice once again from Eric. And then there's his horror show on the second...Lumina made him look a right mug.
But to be honest, if I'm Vicario, why do I even play the ball to Dier in the first instance? You just know he's gonna fuck it up. Vic should've kicked it long himself.
