We had a good defensive record last season and Carragher played ~95% of games so he can't have been that bad. There were some poor games but there were more good gamesOriginally posted by JohnDoe View PostBeen no more than average for the last two years, to be perfectly honest.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

some completely OTT comments on here re Carra. Shocking to be honest.
HE'S HAVING A BAD GAME. TORRES HAS HAD PLENTY RECENTLY. DIRK HAS HAD MORE THAN BOTH TOGETHER.

Yeah maybe mate but now Sami is not on the bench and there is no threat of being dropped if they play ****.Originally posted by Exiled_red View PostIn fairness Sami wasn't playing in thbe majority of the games last season and we didn't concede from set pieces to the same level as we're doing this season. I don't think it's a case of missing Sami I think there's more to it

Overall we conceded about the same number of goals as both the mancs and chelsea, yes we conceded some goals we shouldn't but everyone does that.Originally posted by JohnDoe View PostOur defence was bad last season. Looking at the amount of possession we've had, we conceded too many goals against lesser sides. Far worse record than the mancs or Chelsea.
Our defensive record only holds up well against top sides (when we don't need the initiative and are comfortable sitting deep).
With this defence we will always leak goals pushing up.
The problem for me is we are now getting the fullbacks forward more leaving the centre backs more exposed, if we are to play such a system we need centre backs who are pacey and can cover alot of ground or we'll leave alot of spaces. I don't think the centre backs we have are mobile enough to mop everything up.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
