The obvious conclusion must be that it was Pat Rice who held it all together.

but we have had the players to go and out score opponents and keep the ball better than now.

anyone else

to win the game.Reckless attacking when it was 0-0 imho.

individual errors are more exposed and easier to punish when you are collectively weak.

We conceded exactly the same goal in Schalke as we did against Spurs, i.e. 3 defenders were playing off side and 1 defender was going with the runner, for example. It actually looks worse than in previous seasons, but we were making different collective errors in previous seasons.

that they need to nick the ball off attackers to start attacks.

The first thought of a defender should be to defend and not concede goals. They have the mentality of 10 years olds.

But the recklessness is a symptom of the problem, not a cause imo

The obvious conclusion must be that it was Pat Rice who held it all together.

Except that we have been defensively ****e for about 6 years

10 goals conceded this season due to individual errors......would be comical if it was

I might be a mad but I thought we lost the game because we tried too hard

I'm more worried about the collective errors...

We lost the game because our defenders have this bull**** idea

Ultimately, kind of, but our keeper made 3 or 4 good saves before it got to that point
