Whether Mateta was onside or not, I think JJ has done quite poorly to allow Mitchell to drift away from him to get the space to put such a dangerous ball across the box quite easily

He's looks the most likely to make a mistake leading to a goal.

[Fazzer 7]

I don't get why he's starting ahead of Ricky

[Paninistickers]

Big big fan of JJ but he looks just about our weakest link ATM. 

 

He's more of a physical presence than Ricardo and is quicker. But not convinced. And I say that as someone who rates him. 

[NasPb]

Extremely poor defensively today 

[Phenom]

Poor defensively and offers nothing on the attack.

It was his cross which lead to Mavididi's goal

We need Ricardo! He should have done better to stop the cross for the first but I'm not going to blame him for the stupid offside.

Both full backs positioning when teams attack is poor. The wingers had so much space each time. We need to improve our awareness in wide areas otherwise better teams will expose us. 

 

JJ and VK haven't been great. 

[CosbehFox]

Five of the seven goals conceded from crosses or attacks on his flank. Not necessarily all down to him but clearly a problem. 
 

Tottenham - Maddison cross 

Fulham - two goals in his space 

Villa - cross into Duran 

Palace - cross into Mateta

was going to say that too

If Cooper has anything about him Ricky P will be starting next game, but he wont be tho lets face it, Cooper has favourites already

For everyone saying Riccy right back and moving JJ to left back and dropping VK, JJ is the problem! Simple, drop JJ, Riccy in and keep VK at left back.

 

A shadow of the player he was.

Has been since his injury, very poor at defending , needs replacing

I feel a bit sorry for Justin as it seems to me that he is being criticised for fulfilling the role that Cooper has given him.

 

I'm not a football hipster, so correct me if I'm wrong, but in possession, Cooper asks Justin to sit in with the two centre halves to form a three.  For that reason, he is likely preferred to Ricardo.  Then he gets criticised for not coming forward and also criticised for being to narrow.

 

Meanwhile, with Justin sitting, Kristiansen is given licence to push forward and join the attack with the left winger drifting in field.

 

I don't really understand why we don't allow either full back to push forward, depending on which flank we are attacking, while the other one sits.  I would then play Ricardo as rb and Justin lb.

I  thought yesterday the were taking it in turn, there were plenty of times VK was positioned as the LCB with JJ going forward.

[Noahfence]

He hasn’t been a very good player for some time now 

[ithuriel]

Was never the same player after that injury a few seasons ago unfortunately.
