It's impossible to build a consistent defensive side when those players are constantly caught out of position and making mistakes.
The only bright side it that Karius should finally get a few games to see if he's good enough, and with Can having one foot out the door already, we may be forced to buy a 6.

That was an unmitigated horror show. The team had no life and no spark. That was about as bad as I've seen them play for a long time. Whats worse was that was as close to our normal starting XI as we usually get. That wasnt a weak team.
Mignolet wasnt great at all, but its not like the goals were really his fault. This is the aggravating thing is that if he was just consistently average we'd probably be okay, but overall if I lay blame on this one its on Can and Wijnaldum.
The commentators were blaming VVD but the midfield didnt mark up and West Brom just had two players trail in and clean up over and over.
The back line was marking up, but the midfield wasnt so you just leave this enormous gap for them to run into at full speed and you totally sell out your back 4.
I like Can and was sort of hoping to keep him, but he just showed that if he isnt in it hes a huge liability. He was terrible today.
Anyways, looks like we dont have to worry about FA Cup fixtures anymore.
