But not an 18 year old who'd never played mens football.

That's the issue, we've signed too many players in that sort of price range. We've gone for quantity and perceived promise ahead of proven ready to go quality. We'd have been better off keeping Forster, and signing 5 decent £25m ish players than this lot. The one that really irks me is Larios. We were nickel and diming over strikers in the summer, and then threw £6m on a kid that we didn't need. Had we just paid that bit more to get a proper striker in over the summer, we may not be in the mess that we are. Absolute shit show.

You are conflating issues again to try to defend Baz. The ball should not have got away from the corner. Bednarek should have reacted to the the fella shooting. He should have stuck a leg out for a block. None of that alters that Baz was again in a poor position. Scott has illustrated that perfectly above.

Dunno, but you'd think by now that it'd be ingrained in him where he should be positioning himself. I think the issues with the lad run deeper than coaching tbh - I just don't think he's good enough for this level.

Yep, 100% this. It's the keepers job to position himself. Hilarious that we've had people all over this thread telling us that it's Bednarek's fault that Baz was stood near his front post and behind one of his players. Sure, Bednarek could have attacked or blocked the ball, but Baz's positioning ain't Bednarek's fault or responsibility.

Yep, but he's too lazy to play as a 10 in this formation imo. I think he'd work in a 433 drifting in and out.

Wtf are you on about? Your point was that Baz wasn't at fault cos Bednarek positioned in front of him. Whether Bednarek could have closed the man down is a different issue to Baz standing unsighted - if he can't see, it's his job to move - not complicated mate.

Nonsense. The CB has to be in position to defend what's in front of him. The keepers job is to position himself behind the CB. That goal was not on Bednarek.

No way is that Bednarek's fault! It's Bazunu's job to position himself - Bednarek has the play in front of him.

Bazunu. Properly shit... standing behind Bednarek.

As he just did. Ran down a blind alley though.

I'm not sure Alcaraz is a 10. Assuming he isn't, who else have we got?

Yep. Absolutely knackered. Hopefully KWP will cut on and give us an attacking threat coming in from the left.

Not madness to keep a winning team. You'd be whinging if he'd made those changes and we conceded cos of an error that one of them had made.

Yep. Sulemena arguably worse - makes Aribo look like a hard worker.

Hasn't been so far. But AMN and ABK haven't been any better, and Perraud needs about an hour to decide what to do.

What was Bednar fucking rek thinking.

Terrible, terrible defending.

Awful that from Stu.

Do you think that someone who posted as relentlessly as MLG could suddenly stop? I find it more likely that he'd invent a new alter ego(s) than stop posting. I'm in little doubt that he's posting under more than one guise.
