We Can't Keep Defending Like This

[Will Hay]

It's not weird, it's the sort of detail which separates the top clubs and the would be's.
Despite adopting a man to man system we still don't get up and win a share of incomings.
In many ways, Kane was the vital difference between the sides, which is not to say it was avoidable as we have experienced players out.
Another difference was that we lost out in many individual tussles on strength, our lads proving lightweight.
BR's analysis of naiviety was right but you have to ask why. The answer is there was nobody in charge, like an orchestra without a conductor.
To see any experienced player deciding to chase a win when a point was there for the taking is disappointing to say the least.

I keep going on about it but somebody similar to Jordan Henderson would have been handy.
Somebody to issue bollocking,get in the Refs ear like you mention a conductor.

Substitute weird for shit then. As you say, they have identified zonal marking wasn't working and gone man for man. Now they need to explain how to mark the right ones.

Kane is England’s main forward, he’s not exactly a crap player and he was up against a makeshift back line and no real defensive midfielder.

I’m not at all condoning what happened last night but the fact is that with 4 minutes of injury time passed we were still beating them 2-1 so let’s not get hung up on Kane.

That's right , you can't blame the oppo when you chuck them gifts.
I know I went on about some sort of onfield voice but had he said to YT 'In row Z mate' he might have got the answer 'I have played this game before, mate'.
So there is no real substitute for players using their own noddle...
