I played most of my games in midfield in the JOC League.
Doesn’t mean m good enough for the Premier League.
An interesting take.

You can trace a goal back as far as your want to go , but as a centre defender marking the striker that scored if you leave him and he scores it’s down to you that’s your job to stop him scoring
Its also the job of wide players to stop crosses and track players making runs.
Both of which we failed to do today

Seems to set off some sort of riot on here when it’s 09. For every criticism there seems to be a poster who’ll defend him at all costs.
You can definitely argue he’d had a few decent games prior to today, but the SJP error and some of the defending today puts him firmly behind our other options at CB and this should be obvious to most people. he’s been here long enough to make an assessment.

I always praise onien and defend him when he gets the blame but he lost Watkins twice and also Abraham today the first one was horrific getting drawn to the ballYou support sunderland mate.
Your not allowed a defender who does the basics

Eh? Its ok for half the team to switch off and not track runners, but its the centre halfs job to do it? Where was Alderete then? If thats thier primary job then hes as much to blame?

The cross isn’t the deciding factor in a goal it’s the finish so because someone got a cross in onien no longer has to do his job as a centre defender and mark his man if he did this was at least two of the goals maybe 3 avoidable today first one in particular should of been a easy header away if he wasn’t ball watching and stayed tight to Watkins

Really good defenders can get tortured.
3…!? That's harsh as fuck
First goal has deffo got an eye on (I think) Rogers running clean through the middle thinking the ball will be played there.
Second is a great goal.
As is the third , and he can't leave Watkins and run with Rogers ;
Fourth he's fucked and good movement by the villa player and a tired Luke unfortunately lets him go. It happens.
One out of the four.

They are playing with one striker ! Alderette was the spare man onion was marking Watkins all game you can’t juts have your whole defence marking one man
Again, hes the only defender responsible?
As I have said as a unit our back 4 was all over the place today, both fullbacks weren't at the races, but the only thread on here is about how its all 09's fault

Striker
Because he's at least in part fault for multiple goals
Ahh right, so alderete is spare and cant help or join in defending
Whitburnmakem
Striker
Yes as Watkins is his man ! You want every defender to be marking the same man like??? It’s his job the clue is in the name DEFENDER

If it’s the man who he is supposed to be marking then…….yes, isn’t that obvious?
