Serie A teams found the weakness in our defense, and that's Lichtsteiner.

3 of the last 4 goals we conceded, were scored with a cross from our left side, by a player covered by Lichtsteiner. Belotti for Torino, Bonaventura for Milan and yesterday the Atalanta kid.

This has to be addressed now, because it's not a coincidence.

Here are the 3 goals and judge by yourselves:

Kind of makes you wonder why it's so easy to put in crosses from the left side though.

The thing is that you know in a game against wingers, you have half a goal against from the licht side.

If we commoners know this, for sure serie A coaches know the decline on him and focus their attacks to that side. He will buckle sooner or later.

I am not sure he is the one to blame for Atalanta goal, it's mostly on Asa and whoever from CBs was behind him.
But overall yeah, Licht became a defensive liability.

Has to be said, though, that all 3 goals were conceded in a 4 men defense formation, where in these situations the fullbacks take the position of a CB. In a 3 men defense another player would have covered Belotti/Bonaventura/Latte Lath inside the box instead of Lichtsteiner.

No one blames Asa for the 2nd goal against Atalanta? :shifty:

Didn't do $#@!.
:agree:

Last 15 minutes of that game Atalanta only attack for the right cuz they couldn't create anything for the left more than an amazing shot-once in a life thing but hey, let me stick to me agenda, Licht is a liability and Asa is eclectic-rediscovered

And I think that even the goal against Napoli after the Insigne's pass to Calejon was a Lich non marking error to Calejon,although some think that Sandro make that mistake not Lich.
