F) others teams know there are always  huge gaps between our 3 CBs and our 2 wing backs in this wonderful system we’re playing 

Exactly…the other side, Fellows is routinely caught out like this, but we all know he is never ever a wing back

And he changed things at half time when they were getting overrun unlike managers we have 

Yep, saw a fan film of the game from upper of Celtic areas and exactly what happened.

I feel sorry for Fellows as it's not his role, he's wasted having to run back all the time.

But Manning, well, you can't say any more than has already been said! He's bad in a 4, even worse as a wing back as part of a 3.

He's not quick, not strong, he panics under pressure, he can't mark, he doesn't sense danger. But he can pass with his left foot. You could wrap that description up and apply it to quite a few of our players tbf.

Plus the one injured and on loan at Millwall, another RoI chocolate fireguard.

He is the defender that does not defend. The perfect accompaniment to the goalkeeper that doesn’t make saves. Jesus Christ how has it come to this!? I find it genuinely astonishing.

Throw in our strikers that don’t score and you have a true recipe for success

It was the second goal where the ball was played long into no-mannings-land and then Baz failed to stop a shot in the middle of the goal.

No-manning-land !. That made me lol - brilliant (and sadly very true), I’m definitely using that one in future

A wing back who will not try to go past an opponent, but instead plays the ball backwards. As for his defensive duties, I can only assume that he believes the Covid pandemic is still in full swing as he seems to hold to the instructions to stay at least 2 metres apart.

No Manning land. Cross that white line at your peril. 

 

There should be an award for that comment..
