We showed signs of it at the back end of last season, but we were an absolute mess at the back today. Not just the back 5, but also the midfield.
On the few occasions they actually were able to string a few passes together, we were abject. Huge gaps. No one marking their midfielders. Painfully slow to react. Painfully slow to move.
We gave the ball away in dangerous positions several times. stupid moron passes. We don't clear our lines. When they did pass long it was so slow and telegraphed as to be useless. Or hammering long balls to players who aren't target me.
The only player with any credit today at the back was O'Connell.
They were not helped by the 3 in midfield failing to track runners or mark the opposition.Or tackle. Or move the ball at any speed.
