So frustrating. We’ve looked much better going forward but absolutely horrific defending. Balance of the team looks all wrong and Smallbone, who has been the only presence in midfield, is off injured. Great.
Defensive imperfections were an occupational hazard for the style Martin fostered at Swansea. At no point can Martins stylistic possession based principles become an excuse for weak defending.
I did not suggest everyone was optimistic, so l am not sure why you need to be so pedantic. Still, if it makes you happy. Keep plugging away.
