Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac.
Literally replace them with decent defenders and we win yesterday. We have the worst defenders in the league, easily.
Not buying it.
Look I’m not denying that we could easily upgrade on those three calamities. But in the last 10 years we’ve also had Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Senderos, Squillaci etc and we still regularly lost these games in the same manner. With the above mentioned making similar errors. For me the main issue is not personnel but the culture that has uprooted at the club.
Yes we need more talented defenders but until you get the leadership, mentality, organisation, preparation and a proper footballing philosophy right, we’re still going to come up short regardless of which defenders we recruit.
