FH himself referred to defensive issues after conceding repeatedly during games.

During the poor spells I felt really sorry for FH. On the touchline he noticeably lost his verve, remaining seated as goals went in, I think he mentioned struggling to sleep? Welbeck revealed after the Brentford debacle: “We made our bed and we have to lie in it. It's not good enough. There...

FH mentioned defensive inadequacies. I think TB/FH will look to really improve this with squad changes this summer, FB and possibly DM.

And if people find mention here about poor defending either taboo or nonsense, they will listen to FH who in mid December highlighted it, mentioning collective and individual mistakes giving rise to our high GA stats.

Goals against number poor .... West Ham/Manure level of poor. Our wings especially when Velts didn't play always the Achilles heel.

He often was and 2023/24 under FH. Contributing to the 7th worst defence in the PL last season. Caught 80 yards upfield on repeat or diving in the half way line allowing a winger a free run in on goal.

When did he get injured, someone said autumn in 2023? He was bloody awful against West Ham August 23, not just the goals, helping those f@ckers to their first PL win against us.

He dovetailed brilliantly with Caicedo or Macca, covering each other.

Dismissal ... he wants out. I trust the StarLizard algorithm to find equal or hopefully better, we conceded far too many goals last season in general. I see this as an opportunity for us, it doesn't feel like the devastating effect of Macca and Caicedo departing.

Defensively, he's been poor for much of the last two seasons. Leading to goals conceded. Veltman shows what good FB defending looks like, Estupinan himself showed it in 2022/23. Your sentiment was similar on NSC with Maty Ryan, Montoya, Sanchez. People tried to shutdown debate that they...

Their first XI is strong. I'd add JPVH, Rutter, Veltman as the equals or better than their equivalent. After all we did finish 8th.

He's off to Palarse.

He was poor in 2023/24 too.

Estupinan shocking defending at 1:13 and 1:34. Strange, in 2022/23 he'd been possibly the best LB in the league.

Yes, a brilliant defender season one, better than Cuckoo. But so often poor defending for two seasons since starting with West Ham at the Amex August 23 …. they left him for dead 80 yards upfield on repeat. Out of position or over committing at the half way line, against most opponents. To...

Looks like a clear out of fullbacks who are so easy to bypass, by everyone!
