Need I say we are atrocious at defending? At least three of the five goals conceded in the two matches were as a result of our errors, and not El Salvador's creativity: simple defensive errors, poor marking, and man trying to make a lateral pass across the field on the ground and it got intercepted. We must learn to defend. It is not in our DNA.
Yuh need ah better word to describe that kind of ball watching and mindless defending, and the sad part of it all, it's our midfielders who leaves our defenders and goal keepers out to dry in many cases.
we are the only team that i've seen who could leave three attackers unmarked in the box with the midfield trotting back to defend @ their own pace, it happened with peru and romania, and it was a staple with the old guard.
i remember maturana saying that we lose concentration way too easily, and that was such an accurate assessment.
football is 30% skill, 30% fitness and 40% concentration. a footballer must be quick on his feet and ticking like ah clock, his brain must be conditioned to know where are his team mates and his opponents, that's what spain does, they beat ppl with tactical awareness.
hope hart could find ah cure for that disease called ball watching.
