Absolutely disagree. It is not rocket science to get distances right and pressing. We are pressing as individuals and leaving gaps everywhere. Someone said no lack of effort and I agree - but the players are running themselves into the ground as they are not helping each other in a structure. We started the match with our three defenders 20 yards apart from each other with massive gaps either side of morato. It was wide open. Easy for those cloggers to expose. I’m actually thought morato was decent (until the third goal). The ref didn’t help- so needless to book morato for what to me didn’t even look a foul then let the opposition kick seven bells out of Anderson and take his shirt off his back several times without as much as a free kick. When he did give one he stood in front of the ball and stopped our momentum- whilst letting them take any free kick freely. Very strange. But we didn’t lose due to the ref today- we lost because Ange can’t set a team up.
