A real mess that started with the team selection. There was no way Struick could do Phillips role, Ayling and Cooper with Alioski and Shacks at the back. No protection for Meslier at all.
No pressing in our game. This passing back to our keeper who has proven he cannot deal with the pressure is beyond me. He can’t play out from the back and nor can Cooper or Alioski. No one can say they didn’t see this coming. Our playing out from the back with a young keeper devoid of any confidence whatsoever is suicidal.
