"we conceded a goal that we really could have done little about"
I don't think that's right. We just needed one defender on the penalty spot, or on the edge of the box where there were 3 Ipswich players, instead of everyone being within six yards of the goal. Morsy had time to bring it down and set himself. You can't give someone that much time on the edge of the box. If he'd been hurried he probably wouldn't have struck it nearly so well.
But, if that is our chosen defensive shape for the corner, however mad, then we can't make a clearing header straight up field. Looking at the replay it was Diaz who headed it clear and he had the control to head it where he wanted. The players should be told that, if that is our chosen shape, then we don't head it straight upfield, we head it back to the wing where we had Armstrong covering. As it was, we set that strike up for them just as well as if they'd won the header.
We either had a bad plan for the set piece or we executed it badly, or both. Either way this goal could have been stopped on the training ground. Our set pieces often look a bit ragged as if we're not spending the time working on them that we should. |  | | |

Throw in Aribo’s half hearted attempt at a block on the shot… | |

Yes you're right. Blocking shots is part of defending and sometimes it just comes down to the question of whether you're fully committed to stopping the shot or not. | | | |

I’d take a football in the chops or worse, the town halls, for Aribo’s wage of £70k a week. | |

Just listened to RM's interview where he spoke about "fundamental problems with the way we defended first the throw-in and then the corner... and that's people getting out of position which must be out of anxiety and desperation to hang on".
So, sounds like we didn't intend that mad defensive shape, but one or two people didn't do the job assigned to them. Very avoidable. | | | |

Selling Alcaraz and buying Archer made no sense. |
Fernandez is a massive upgrade on Alcaraz. Fernandez looks solid. Alcaraz never did.
The way Archer finished against Cardiff I also thought that he looked like an upgrade on Adams. | |

Neither does this comment, it’s not like for like, the far superior Fernandes is the Alcarez replacement |  |

But that is what we do nearly every time. It is one of the midfielders that should be doing that. |  |

I wasn’t comparing Alcaraz to Archer.
Fernandes is a good player, far superior to Alcatraz I’m not so sure. [Post edited 23 Sep 2024 15:46]

When you’ve got Jack Grealish just throwing himself in front of a Tripper shot and taking it in the TOWN HALLS then Aribo and Archer’s half hearted blocks v MU and Ipswich.
That’s the difference between winners and losers. | |
