Agree.
I know conte won't do it but I'd like to see lenglet and romeo paired in a back 4... that way, we get the extra man in midfield AND the three up top

Worrying thing for me is Richarlison and Kulusevski surely can’t go the full 90. So, we have to get back into this and ahead, quick.

but because Dier is awful, they look threatening every time they challenge us.
it was a joke.

Lenglet has been our worst player by miles. He can't defend at all.

Dier continues to have a nightmare few weeks. First goal both he and Emerson to see the danger of Summerville too late and then he is far too weak in at least putting him off his shot. Lloris doesn’t cover himself in glory either.
Second goal, well taken, Dier, especially, and the whole defense have got to push up quicker to play the Leeds players offside. Poor defensive mentality.

I thought I heard "that's why you play for Leeds" in there. I assumed he was screaming at a Leeds player.
Actually played okay. Just defensive errors killing us again

Ridiculous. If you think no trophies in 15 years is entitled.......

I am the same. Not that I'd boo myself but couldn't give a shit about the fact that it's occurring, much more pressing matters within the actual side really.
If anything I'm glad the shortcomings in defence are being highlighted so if there wasn't before, there's more urgency to address it. Elements like Dier's form last season may have seen us not be as desperate to address that position in the summer but there were always question marks as to whether he'd actually really changed as a player or not. Just a shame their form couldn't have been a bit better to see us through to January at least.

Royal booed every touch but Dier is doing him no favours. Clearly has no trust in him and is telling him where to stand whole time but then Dier comes out wide and leaves Royal to deal with everything. Dier is not the defensive marshall he thinks he is.

Maybe, but it’s totally counterproductive!
Fans moan about negativity on the pitch, yet boo from the stands!
I can’t abide it.

Given our forwards don’t press it’s really easy for the opposition to get through our forward line. Then it becomes 4 or 5 vs PEH and Bentancur. Unsurprisingly we don’t win that battle so the opposition have free rein at our poor defence.
I just don’t think this formation works unless your forward players press well. And ours dont

But this is also a symptom of keep changing managers. A new man in will always want to see the players himself to see if he can get more out of them. By the time they realise and want rid it's too late and they are gone instead.

Who was he shouting at? I thought he was shouting at the corner taker?
