The midfield two weren't the ones not marking, switching off, panicking in possession, hoofing the ball into touch, getting outmuscled and generally standing off. Winks and PEH were completely overrun and chasing shadows and that's down to Conte not dropping Son or Lucas deeper to help out. It was as clear as day from the first five minutes.Hold on, I was told WBs had little defensive responsibilty, that’s why we were gonna but Traore there he was just gonna bomb forward and be covered. But now we have a defensive liability at WB.... GUYS we don’t control the midfield, that’s our problem, it’s as plain as day. You want to blame individuals go right ahead but it’s our midfield as a whole is the problem.
We defend as a team, when you play with WBS u depend on your midfielders to cover. We simply don’t control the ball, we have not one midfielder comfortable on the ball, never mind under pressure, Southampton walked though us at home.The midfield two weren't the ones not marking, switching off, panicking in possession, hoofing the ball into touch, getting outmuscled and generally standing off.
