Rutter gives the ball away in our own half for the first. For the second it's not a ball over the high back line at all, they never break past us and it results is a weak shot and an individual error.

It wasn't though. We gave the ball away again in our own half. That has been the major issue leading to goals.

We have been defensively poor at times, but mostly the goals have come from giving the ball away not from balls over the top from a high line.

Two goals were from missplaced passes (Webster and Verbruggen), one was a penalty and the last was an error from Estupinan leading to a free kick. All had nothing to do with the high line.

This argument holds less water the more games we don't conceed a goal due to it. None vs Chelsea and non vs Spurs. This starts to suggest it's working.

Why have people got obsessed with the high line thing? Again, neither goal today was because of the high line.

Both look terrible, waste of money. They have don't nothing NOTHING!

No no. Nothing good about it, it was all the high line Spurs play that was at fault.

This. Again the goal has nothing to do with a high line.

He really isn't. He is a solid EPL defender and represents great squad depth for us.

It wasn't an opinion. It's abuse what they were saying. Unless you think "f*** off Adam" is opinion? And other posts of that style.

Apart from the horrible error (and he wasn't the only one as Bart did the same for one goal and Estupinan for the free-kick) he had a very good game.

Is the only sane answer!

How can you possibly tell from the limited time they have played so far 🤣

People on here don't seem to like stats or evidence of the game but purely look at the result: we win = omg we are gods and amazing. We lose = we were battered and everyone is shit what a waste of money. I assume it is purely for Internet likes as surely they are not actually that dumb.

The majority were offside. I don't see that as irrelevant.

None of their goals came from the high press. None. Two terrible passes, an individual error and a soft penalty. I would agree if all the goals came from through balls beating the high line, but they just didn't.

Because of the time zones I have just finished watching a replay of it. Based on the wailing on here I was expecting the worst. But for the most part the high line worked - none of the goals were because of it: two of their goals were from individual bad errors (Webster and Estupinan), one was a...

I looked it up and calculated it. We see the number of free-kick goal you would expect given last seasons EPL numbers from all games. Not sure what the complaint is about.

The mods should change it to "AVERAGE stat". You can keep the capitals for SENSATIONALIST purposes. Omg the third free-kick will shock you.
