Let me throw another (possibly controversial) thought into this discussion. Do we, the fans, really know what is wrong?
I ask that question because we are looking from the outside and have seen the end result, but have we seen what is wrong? For example, eye witnesses to a crime or an accident are notoriously unobservant, and often say what they think has happened rather than what actually happens.
No. We don't. But if we didn't speculate then there would be no forum.
(Got out of bed the wrong side today, TG)?
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I wouldn't say we knew with clarity what is wrong within the camp, as only a few people are privvy to that info.
But, we're all eye-witnesess to the fact that our defence is shite, disorganised, and wasn't strengthened when it was most needed, for example.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Nah, just in the mood to stir things up a bit. Get people thinking off at a tangent.Originally Posted by Nasri Scoreng
Is this the shit defence that had the 4th best record in the EPl, and held Barcelona to just 3 goals, when down to 10 men with about 30 minutes to play?
Lol.
No this is the defence that let four in against Newcastle having been four up. The same defence that conspired to bottle it in the dying minutes of a cup final. The same one that has conceded the most league goals from set pieces. The very same defence that was down to one fit CB in January.

The one fit CB is a reason why the defence did not do well; not an example of its crappiness.
While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.
Tbf, I did originally say (#33) that our defence was shite, disorganised and not strengthened when most needed.

Barca should have scored a hatful at the Nou Camp but their finishing was poor, they had the chances though so the 3 goals stat is a little misleading. On a good day we'd have been thumped 6-1.
It's always possible to find excuses, the defensive problems have been around for years though and have never been addressed properly.
