This is where I am confused. Easy I know . But aren’t we supposed to have bought an amazing defensive pair? Yet we ship goals like it’s the natural order of things.
To quote some American, attack wins games, defence wins championships.
Best defensive record in the EPL currently, the top 3 sides.
We've conceded 13 goals when Romero and van de Ven have completed 90 minutes together (12 games) with 5 of those goals coming from set pieces.
I imagine not having a spell of playing full backs at centre back would probably have helped out tremendously.
People bringing up our defense after the Everton game is a bit odd. They created sweet fuck all against us besides set pieces, which is a structural thing. Even then, the first goal was a foul.
