Originally posted by nasser95 View PostOk firstly, Ned is going to close down Kermorgant because no one else has. No, he certainly isn't close to Rakels, but he has two options here, close down Rakels and risk Kermorgant shooting or try and close down Kermorgant. He gets stuck right in the middle and can't really do much other than try to block it. I can see how you feel it is his fault, but honestly, the amount of luck in that goal is quite large for me to just blame a player and call his work "criminal"

It's like you are scared to blame Onoura for fear of upsetting him.
You keep defending the 'chief' mate. I'd love to see how many goals we have conceded this season alone where the blame would lay at his feet.
People say Mackie's enthusiasm and whole heartedness is not enough and I agree but the same has to be said about Onoura

In general as well here, you've suggested that Onuoha is only enthusiasm and whole heartedness, except for the fact that he's consistently in the top defenders in the league for tackle success, number of tackles, interceptions, clearances, dribbles, aerial duel wins. He makes a couple of mistakes here and there but so do most defenders in this league, the way the ball is played makes it a magnet for errors. Even Hally's made mistakes and he's someone many consider to be a completely solid defender."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.
