Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
He's got the whole squad being "hokey kokey". You want me to defend or attack? As a team? As an individual?
They look lost.
Agreed
If you’re not intelligent enough to understand digne is playing to instructions then you should be banned from going to the game
Loads of absolute gimps support our team who have never played football in their lives
Has he been told how not to defend. His defending is woeful and has been for a few seasons now. I played footy at Sunday league level so I must qualify for an opinion

We have a lot of gimp posters on here as well..?
To be honest mate I was just half cut and bored and wanted to be antagonistic ?Has he been told how not to defend. His defending is woeful and has been for a few seasons now. I played footy at Sunday league level so I must qualify for an opinion

And his attacking play has been our main creative outlet in those seasons. Surely then you'd expect a manager of 25 years experience to identify this and lean into it a little?

Due to the system we play, he has less freedom offensively, than if we were to play 5-3-2 / 3-5-2, or 4-2-3-1 with double pivot. This does not mean that he can not contribute offensively, but as we play now we can not have both side backs high in the field.
We are also a team that does not prioritize ball possession, but rather wants to create and utilize transitions. Which means that we rarely get the opportunity to organize the team - with good balance - in the last third.

another in the squad presenting symptoms of homesickness
But his defending is still woeful

All players have strengths and weaknesses. The manager's job is to play to the former and mask the latter. For so many of our players he hasn't been doing it.

He's a defender. His weakness cannot be "defending".

Look around. If, in 2021, you think a full back's primary function is to be defensive then you belong in the dark ages with Benitez. There's a right back across the park who's weakness is defending and he's the best in his position in the world.

Right, but it's a very important skill. Now I do not agree that he is as bad as some people think he is either. On the contrary, he is very skilled at doing what he is supposed to in LFC's system. I do not think Digne had come close to being able to play with the same intensity, nor handled 1 vs. 1 situations defensively as Trent.
Our left backs have been about the only thing good about this club for a decade
