So it's my faultHe wasn't unmarked. He was being marked by, er, Vrancic and Lewis. When Bure Budgie said "Vrancic must play", did he even consider the implications for our defence? No, he didn't. When people drool over Buendia's number of key passes, do they mention how often he gives the ball away or concedes free kicks in dangerous positions? No, they don't.
I wish it were. Then it wouldn't be DF's. But your post typified how the focus is always on attacking play, as though defence takes care of itself. It was the same with Wes H. People just couldn't grasp why he was ever left out of the starting eleven, for us or for the RoI.
