Nope. The issue is that we are not defending as a team. The oppos midfielders and full backs can wander forward at will. .
I'll never forget the effort everyone put in last season during the Arsenal and Man City Away games , the defending was heroic .
It seems this season we have forgotten how to play as a team - one goal that stands out was the Antonio goal at home to Liverpool - he tackled their winger as a full back , 30 seconds later he scores as a forward . We now play Feghouli or that dud Tore as our right winger and stick Antonio at either right back or left wing and while everyone is up there trying to answer the front door , our back door is left open to burglars .
Slaven Bilic needs to instill discipline in our midfielders and he has to realise there's only room for so many ' luxury players ' per game , he has to decide which formation suits this squad of players best at home and which away from home - there should be no favourites , just a proper team .
