I don’t agree. It was all last-ditch stuff which was only ever going to end one way, which it did. Constantly being on the defence tires the players out mentally as well as physically and eventually they make mistakes.
Emile Smith Rowe ran into the same gap in our defence that Ollie Watkins found for Villa. If you watch the goal again you will see that we have at least four defenders there who could have tracked his run yet they all leave it to each other. Bednarek realises too late and dives in only to deflect the ball into goal.
It’s a classic case of ‘too many cooks’ getting in each other’s way. Five at the back is an abomination.
