Norder: It all depends on the moment you stop the video. For example at 0.49. Mee is closer to Vardy than Taylor .




But each time there are defensive mistakes, there seems to be a lack of command / communication in those defensive positions.

We can not see it exactly in the video at 0.49, but ask, where is Tarks? I would say ...out of position. In the video Mee is covering Lookman ( no 37), but near also to Vardy than what Taylor is. That is with Tarks out of position Mee has to decide who to mark now Lookman or Vardy. Taylors's position is that what is behind him ,he hasn't a clue, not any distance involved, or of any movement ,totally blind to it all. But Mee has Vardy before him in his sights!! Then in fact closer at this point to Vardy than Taylor. Also it seems there is a lack of communication between the centre backs! Why did Tarks move forward leaving the defence weaker? After that Taylor did make mistakes by running towards Vardy and not for the ball.

How that speedster Vardy was not marked closer?? Words fail me.
