No but I think the way we play leaves us open to the counter sometimes , plenty of keeper mistakes thrown in too .
Burnley didnt concede 16 just because of their centre halves

I think we need an upgrade at CB and of the two Kitching is the one to drop out IMO.
Thought simms and wright were below average , thought BTA did more in his small cameo than both

No that’s true. But I think that means you need even better individuals if you haven’t got a system. I agree getting someone in who can set up a back four would be the biggest bang for your buck. Don’t know how likely that is tho.

Conceding 1 goal per game, when you’ve played each of the top 5 in that time is not poor by any stretch.But as you’ve shown even outside of those games our defensive record is poor. I agree with Evo how we set up under Lampard doesn’t help but we seem to have a higher than average number of mistakes and slack passes from our defence compared to most. The stats show our individuals aren’t particularly pulling up trees compared to others in the same position.

I also posted we conceded 12 in 12 when they both played with Dovin, when we played the entire top 5 at the time. That’s 46 over the season.Conceding 16 in 13 (the stat you posted) would be 56/57 over a season. We conceded 58.

A combination of the threeKitching has made a huge difference
I can’t work out if you are wumming, clueless or genuinely stupid
Saddle seems to think Dovin could be back by early October.Would be interested, but not interested enough to go find out, what the xG was there. Anecdotally it felt like we rode our luck a lot and Dovin kept us in games rather than us looking particularly solid. And we don’t have Dovin got another 9 months or whatever.

And magic wilsonThought the three of MvE Saka and Rudi was outstanding today.
And magic wilson
He was magic todayI honestly thought how low the bar was for him today was hilarious. Fair fucks he did nothing wrong and pulled off a couple of great saves but at times he was getting rapturous applause for thinks like picking up a ball rolling slowly towards him and managing to pass it to someone three feet away. I mean I get why because these aren’t things that our last GK did every time, but still funny.
You sound like my stepdaughter's drug dealer.Live by the high line, die by the high line.
Simms had tired their back lines quite a lot. Played the target / hold up man pretty well and gave them a a physical challenge. Not quite in full beast mode, but pretty good.Wright was a threat all game and I didn't think Simms was that bad. Just that BTA was so much better
More than the season hopefully, can you imagine Grimes, Hamer, Rudoni, Wright and Gyokeres.SBT said:
Grimes’ signing could prove to be one of the turning points of the season. Just a huge shove all-in from Doug.
Grimes is rushing in to try and rob players at times which he was not doing when he had to stay back more.5 is harsh for Wright and Simms.
I’d give Grimes a 7. Thought he was really good.

That’s what the clubs doctors think soHe might be ITK but he's not a fucking doctor
How they don't rush him back too soon as ACLs can reoccurThat’s what the clubs doctors think so
Yeah Simms played his bit, obviously nobody is happy with his goal return but he does occupy center backs. Said it many times on this forum it is really knackering playing up against a bloke the size of Simms. Not a bad tactic to bring legs on against tiring defenceSimms did some excellent work with his back to goal, especially in the first half. His lack of technique cost him a couple of times when trying to get shots away, but I thought he did a good job for the team.
Wright's decision making was off, that's all.
