Peluso's wrongly positioned, seems to me that Ogbonna and Bonucci lost sight of the ball for a while, if the near post guys don't cut out the ball it's extremely difficult to defend such bendy crosses across the face of goal.
Vidal looked tired, so did Pogba. However at least Vidal wasn't constantly giving fouls away and trying to do everything himself
Pogba has to be more of a team player. Sure, it's great when all is well and Pogba is making a fool out of defenders when we're 3-0 up and cruising. But in games like this, the simple tasks like retaining the ball and keeping the ball moving need to take precedent over trying a roulette in your own 3rd.

Nah I get that, yeah you need to make sure you know where the player is
But my point is, even when we're surrounding a player and have him 'locked down' we still seem to just push and shove the man and hope we can put him off rather than actually challenge him in the air.
I can't be overly critical because Luca Toni is 6 foot 5 and made a career out of doing what he did today, but we need to make life difficult for him instead of backing into him slightly and hoping it puts him off.

I'm sure Pogba will iron it out, I just hope it is an issue with his lack of experience rather than over-confidence
I can live with a striker who tries the improbable, but really when we're so close to our own goal, these risks are a low reward, high risk type of deal. I mean, really, making a simple pass would have the desired effect.

3 CB defence is messing up our assignments in the box IMO.
If you look at the tying goal, Ogbonna is in line with Caceres who is the other CB. The player is offside if Bonucci is not on the field. The 3rd CB complicates the box assignments to me because he's in behind Ogbonna's man and keeping him onside. For Ogbonna, he's thinking either his man will be offside or if he's not offside, at least the sweeper, who is marking no one, will slide over and pick him up, since he's keeping him onside anyway.
For me, there's a problem when the sweeper is a free man but he does not ATTACK the ball. He just complicates the scenario in the box. I think with only 2 CBs, they take their marking situation more seriously, they are not trying to slide in front or form some type of partnership with the sweeper, they are just muscling their man and attacking the ball.
I feel on set pieces our CBs are always looking around at each other like it's someone else's fault all the time. Actually both times, the goal comes from Ogbonna and Bonucci looking confused.
