Considering we had one of the best defences in the league last season, its odd that we have become so leaky this season at the back.
I would add to that by saying we used to man mark and now seem to zonal mark.

I find it baffling that we can be so good one season then the next the defence is rubbish.

And professionalism on the players' part.
That has had a bearing undoubtedly, but has their been poor performances due to discipline problems or the other way round? For me it's noticeable that the players didn't start acting this way until he came in, so although not an excuse it's another sign of weak leadership as far as I'm concerned.
