Last night I asked what value post football match social media pile on’s had. Judging by most of the responses from you guys, the answer was zero. So here to overwhelmingly prove the point, I went a hunting for Sergio Reguilón fan reaction. Surprise, surprise it was glowing. Which is nice.
However, if we look at Sergio’s role in a game littered with individual errors, then defensively, the boy was no less careless than Serge Aurier. Only 4 passes separated how many times they lost possession, and each were directly involved in an occasion when a loss resulted in a shot on Hugo Lloris’ goal.
Of course there is more to a player’s game than just giving the ball away, but it tends to be extreme mistakes such as losses that most readily provoke fan reaction.
Yesterday feels like a loss, and credit lies with Roy Hodgson and the way he set his side out, and to Crystal Palace for demonstrating superior concentration levels.
442 Formation is not sexy, it gives you a chance because it makes you sound defensively. You need a ball carrier to get into the second tier as they can easiely becomes a bank of 5 and 4. Or 44 across with a deep lying centerback. Cahill was not bothered as they came at Spurs smartly from both flanks while still not giving up the midfield or Space out wide for balls over the top. The one goal was enough to win. When are they going to start issuing cards again for flopping??. No football player should be falling over the way Saha does the second he feels contact. 2 flops, one with Westham and again with Palace cost us 4 points. I do not care if it was not defended properly. If the players get book the ball is going the otherway all that defending is moot.
