The mistakes are systemic. Or poor playing of it. There's a simple logic to avoid the errors we're making. Play away from the spaces of danger - we play back into them, over and over again. It's as if we've set out to spark our own collapses. Instead of playing our way out of moments of crisis, we wallow in them. 

 

I like Jota and he was very good in pre-season but he's given the ball away so many times in these first two games. Nunez would be torn apart if he was as clumsy as Jota's been. 


Agree with that. Problem for me is that I think the inverted fullback compounds our spacing issues. Trent gets the ball in the middle and there’s a big Trent sized hole on the right flank with no one from either team occupying it. So his options are to play it safe with to keep possession, try to carry it through a crowded center, pass it short through the same center or play the Hollywood ball. When you consider that it hasn’t seemed to actually improve our defensive qualities it’s very frustrating to say the least.

 

FFS red card for Mac Allister for attempting a block and missing.
