Garnacho again ffs

Manager's obviously been working on defending the long throw ins... nice knock on lol

Thats comical defending. Two long throws and both times free efforts to put the ball in the net.

Good to see that Maresca is working his magic with our defensive set up

Class assist from Trev LOL

Chalobah is a disgrace, get him gone

Garnacho with A mudryk defending there. That’s an are he needs improving imo.

Wtf was challobah doing with that header tho.

bald f**k is just looking 🙄

I've never seen a team struggle with something as simple as a long throw as we do. Not even Arsenal in the Rory Delap Stoke days.

That little prick Garnacho again.

Selfish as f**k.

I'm sure you will all be surprised to hear that we have the worst record in the league at defending long throws.

Double piss-take considering we have Rory Delap's son on the field who can't win a header or hold up the ball for sh*t. Winstanley and Stewart should be arrested

Joke manager, comedic defence all put in place by good old Todd and co….clueless Americans

Every time you start feeling positive...

Garnacho did terrible but why was he the only one there?

Again, I ask the question why aren’t we defending long throws by emptying the box?!

Or why don't we have someone on the back post?

Sh*t organisation.

Why are our players constantly diving to the floor, looking for cheap free kicks. Stop fking cheating and grow some bo**ocks

I've tried that excuse before, it doesn't work I'm afraid

I’m the old one here and yet a lot of folks here are still stuck in the mindset that defenders defend and attackers attack. 😅

It’s like ignoring city for a decade and now ignoring what every other team does.

There is no leadership / ownership of actually defending the ball. It's not that difficult yet its a calamity every time.

Every match the defending is championship level, the only player to improve back there is Sanchez remarkably , constantly rearranging and rotating the players in front of him is ⚽️ stupid unles there’s an ulterior motive.

There's no point singling one player out on these long throws, they're all sh*t at dealing with it. At this point, I would rather Sanchez just risk it and smash his way through bodies to collect it. I don't trust the other clowns to deal with it.

Have no fear ... the Liverpool set piece coach is now available for BlueCo to hire LOL. It CAN get worse 😄

My concern is how easy Bournemouth are getting through us. They look the better side to me.

We won't get anything from the Arsenal cup games simply from the long throws which we simply never deal with.

Did delap try a 360 spin before shooting there?

Get Garnacho off now he is awful
