Sooo many this season. Especially in the last 5-10 minutes. Nerves, lack of tactical knowledge or guidance? Something else?

Having to take off Sandro"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Sandro didn't chip the ball like a nine iron at the Masters.......? We lack professionalism, we don't kill games. Two minutes left go down like Terry and Cahill. Put the ball in row Z. Take the lead at Villa, keep the ball for ten minutes, do nothing with it, let the crowd get on Villa's backs? No, good old Rangers, spread out over the pitch, lose the ball cheaply and concede immediately. This comes from the bench and the work they do all week.Comment

It's a combination of things.
We can't keep the ball for a start, it's either attack or defend and nothing in between.
The majority of games, we've been under the cosh defensively for sustained period of times and it's physically and mentally tiring, it's no coincidence the top teams score so many late goals.
Also our full backs are so poor defensively it's unreal. I've never seen a team allow so many crosses or players run inside as Isla and Yun (mainly them two) do.
The stats don't lie and defensively we're the worst in every way, whether it be goals, corners etc. As a team, we're defensively terrible, which is a recipe for disaster.Comment
