It was Iong hopeful aimless punt by Mings. No centre back in world football clears it because its so hopeful it literally bypasses our defence.
Rose comes round to cover as your full back is meant to. Hesitates and allows McGinn to get through instead of clearing it. Mate, we've had this discussion, I've posted the video to prove it.
Infact, I'll post it again.
15 seconds in. Hesitation. Rose of old clears it, seen it plenty of times. However we don't have Rose of old.
Rose didnt do ANYTHING well for the Villa goal. Not only does he fail to clear due to his hesitation, he stupidly goes to ground instead of standing McGinn up.
Rose is done. He's a waste of place in the team. Cannot defend, as evident by being involved in 3 of the 4 goals we've conceded this season, cannot attack, cannot cross.
I'm not surprised we wanted to fuck him off to Watford.
Anyone blaming Sanchez for that goal is brain dead. Worryingly, all of our back four have now been involved in the goals we've conceded.
Villa - Rose (Sissoko not tracking runner)
City - KWP, Rose, Alderweireld.
Newcastle - Sanchez, Rose, Alderweireld
Based on that alone, Vertonghen should probably come back in the team. Davies too.
Agree the whole defence has been shaky but what you don't see on that video is how Rose was marking the right winger (forget his name) but as soon as he see's that ball and McGinn's run from CM (past Moussa) he manages to get right across the pitch to cover. The right winger gets absolutely nowhere near the attack in the same space of time.
Going round in circles a bit but I think he's been our best performer at the back, which isn't a good thing
