But the team organisation is just so poor. Spaces everywhere...full back to centre back, the defensive line, Kamara to the other two midfielders, front 3 and midfield. Watkins and the two narrow forwards. No wonder we can't keep the ball, there's no cohesion at all with and without the ball. Martinez 3 - at fault for two goals and hiding on line again.Cash 5 - average defender at this level and regressing going forward. Awful defending for their winnerKonsa 6 - bullied by Jesus for that yellow but was decent in the mainMings 6 - solid enough for meDigne 4 - rubbish defender and a terrible signing. Bullied by Saka.
