It was that Villa game and the summer transfer window afterwards. Failure to sign a proper striker and lots of wasted funds. That set the precedent unfortunately.
Yep. The full backs allowing cross after cross into the box, then static unaware centre backs unable to deal with them. A total recipe for disaster and he doesn't seem to be doing anything to sort the problem.
Not sure what's been going on in his head but he's a million miles off that player we saw for the first half of last season. He looks devoid of confidence.
He should never have left so soon after what happened with the failed Chelsea transfer a few years ago. He went for the money and I've got no sympathy for him.
Obviously not every game but there's been a fair few matches where we've conceded a goal from every shot on target. His save percentage is quite frankly diabolical.
Looked ok. As others have said - should've done better for their second but he needs some time to get up to speed (we don't really have time but it is what it is)
