The real Sgt Slaughter would probably do a better job of coaching this team than old olive face Delneri.

The first goal wasn't Sorensen's fault at all. Nobody closed down the player who sent in the through ball, and the rest of the defense was ball watching as the cross came in. Sorensen had to deal with the player outside of him and the Catania player running towards him with the ball a few yards away, plus he was holding his line with the other defenders.

The whole defense was ball watching and it was Marchisio who came all the back to pick up the scorer.

You can't say that it wasn't Sørensen's fault at all. Sørensen was ballwatching.
It wasn't all on Freddy, Grosso shit bricks as well.

What exactly did you want Sorensen to do there? He's actually correctly positioned for the offsides trap, but the morons in the center are totally out of sync, keeping the attacking player onsides. Sorensen was looking at Bonucci being far up and holding his position for the offsides trap, which is smart as long as you have a defense that knows what they're doing. But we don't because half of it is filled with crap, especially Barzagli, so I guess you could blame Sorensen for trying to catch the player offsides.

Actually, if you look there, Grosso's positioning is OK, but Barzagli holds the attacker onsides. He's the idiot.

 

[Fake Melo]

Bad communication and not well gamereading. The ball was just played through him, he should have been at his man instead of worrying about the offside trap when the team lacks of communication.

The goal did come from second post where Grosso should have been.

We don't play a man-to-man system. We play a zonal system.

I can't fault Sorensen here.

 

[Fake Melo]

The problem is the same as rest of our defenders, none of them could read the game. Mainly our seniors should take blame but whole of defence fucked up there IMO.

marchisio's inability to track his marker when the opposition are on the attack was highlighted the other week on skysports, leaving our left back exposed to 2 minds, catania's first goal was the same again. This whole idea of DN that marchisio provides cover for the left back is flawed.

 

[Fake Melo]

Grande Grosso doesn't know where his man is.

thats not his fault though, that was marchisio's man, it was the same 2 weeks ago against genoa

It's no doubt flawed, and always has been. But in this case there's no excuse for having both Barzagli and Grosso ball watch while Marchisio trails Gomez. Even in a zonal system you should be able to read the play. I mean, there's no attacker running from deep and Melo has that area of the pitch covered. Another attacker is parallel with the crosser whom Barzagli let get away, so Grosso is there all by himself watching the play develop. There's no excuse for that, whether we deploy a zone or man to man system.

We don't play a man to man system. Even if we did, there's no excuse for allowing that to happen.

When the last two subs were made we actually played a 3-4-3 (5-2-3) system where Grosso was the third CB while Marchisio and Sorensen were the fullbacks. If you re-watch the last 15 minutes you'll see that Grosso hardly ever moved from the center while Marchisio played a clear left wingback role and Claudio was the only one defending our left side.
Marchisio had many 1 on 1 situations with their RW (Gomez?) both before and after their first goal and I was all :confused2:confused2:confused2 when I watched Marchisio there alone and Grosso being stuck in our box. Grosso's natural characteristics would have led him to the left to help Marchisio, but he wasn't doing that and imo it's clear that he was instructed by DN to stick to the center of the box and let Marchisio handle his man alone.

Well that's just all effed up then, isn't it? From the decisions of the players to what DN supposedly told them to do, no wonder why we conceded two late goals.

I don't understand why we'd want to change to a back five when we never play that. If you want to defend the lead like an assclown, keep the back four and have the midfielders come back to defend. Don't change the whole friggin' defensive setup to something we've never used. Idiot manager.
