| The first three goals killed that game 19:12 - Jan 19 with 504 views | GlasgowBlue |
and I don't normally analyze the goals we concede. However, as Sky have just shown them again I actually took notice of player positions and the first three goals were down to Johnson imo.
First goal. Why was Johnson in the box with the centre backs and not staying close to Doku who was in acres of space? We are already playing a hybrid system where the right back, Godfrey, tucks in with the centre backs which means the right wing back, Johnson, should be looking after Doku.
Second goal. Johnson not tight enough to Doku and is slow to react to the pass to Doku. Can’t blame Godfrey who was tight to the player he was looking after, De Bruyne.
Third goal: Godfrey heads away a ball intended for Doku, O’shea not strong enough when the header fals between him and a City player and is eased off the ball to easily. Johnson stands watching leaving Godfrey to mark two players in Doku and De Bruyne. Johnson now too far up the pitch and he literally jogs back. Even Morsy is running back faster than Johnson and gains about 5 yards on him. Johnson then basically gives up running.
Hate hanging players out to dry but that was woeful. |  |
