    1st goal - brain farts by Dier and Lloris, more so Dier...a proper defender takes control of that situation.

    2nd goal - Lloris parries it back into danger...poor basic stuff. TAA with bags of space on his ones

    3rd goal - Rodon watches it pass by him and into Mane’s path when he could have commanded the situation easily. He’s young and will learn but still it was an error.

    Really shouldn’t ignore individual errors because teams that win things don’t make individual errors, certainly not on a regular basis and three in one game is just not on.

    The second goal has a couple of variables to consider. The obvious one is the change of system at half time, so our already muddled defence was slightly more muddled in front of him, so it was less a defence and more a pinball table in front of him at that point

    The other one is how he (allegedly...) had a punchup with Aurier at half time, and if that left him a touch rattled it makes a certain amount of sense that he wasn't thinking clearly

    very true...probably was a bit rattled and the timing of the goal suggests so aswell
