Because they are scared of all that space with their lack of pace.I am not blaming Vorm for that. I am blaming the defence. Why were they backing off Bale allowing him to find his range with his left foot? WTF!!
Such a dangerous ball with a high line.All the same, Bentaleb does play those no look square balls a lot and it does get cut out every now and then. This time we paid for it.
Yes I think Poch has decided Carroll is #10 or more a final third player - I think he is more of deeper lying playmaker.. which I also think about Eriksen strangely.. part of a rotating CM three perhaps.
To be fair we've kept the ball quite impressively at time during this second half.
Just the similar problem of not enough cutting edge and the high line can concede a goal with any mistake.
Craig Burley.I'm listening to some American (Glenn perhaps) and a Scot... is it Craig Brown?
Agree Alli looked good.
I also thought Bentleb looked good up until giving the ball away for the goal.
I like bentaleb.
But he needs an older wiser head along side him
