Lloris was at fault for both goals today, and is becoming a major liability, but just like our CB's, who are all flawed like him, Conte's tactics - or lack of - is really exposing all of them.
The lack of intensity starts in the front line with Kane, Kulusevski and worst of all Son who's always been a fucking limp biscuit, but is no longer paying any dividends whatsoever when we have the ball.
This puts pressure on the midfield - which because of Conte's intransigence nearly always consists of two bodies. Those bodies are all a bunch of plodders and again, because of Conte's rigid inflexibility, are always outnumbered, often by three midfielders who are all more mobile.
It doesn't matter how advanced or deep you want to set up, proactive or reactive strategy, if you lack intensity and cohesion you will struggle. We are possibly the most passive team in this league. And this is putting pressure on some really flawed players.
Yes, Lloris and the CB's fail too easily, but they are being put in the position to fail by what goes on ahead and around them constantly. The lack of intensity and effort from the forwards, WB's, CM's gives opposition players too much time and space on the ball. Sometimes forwards will plod into a half arsed press, the midfield don't seem to know the trigger or are numerically unable to cover the bases and before you know it the opposition have waltzed passed our front two lines and have time and space in our third to pick out crosses or take shots.
This isn't just about Lloris and the CB's. It's not just about the individual technical quality in this team. Both of which aren't fantastic. There is a collective lethargy about this team, a collective lack of cohesion. We have a less defined pattern of play this season than we did last season. This is like Redknapp era lottery bollocks - we look like a bunch of players being chucked out with very little tactical instruction. We generally do OK against the teams with inferior players than us and get beat and outplayed by those better than us. This is not what you expect from a decent coach, let alone one of the best paid in the world.
