He's had a few poor games recently and his crossing and corners aren't as good as Kostas. That's what everyone is remarking at, it is noticeable.
Say what you like all the balls that led to goals all came from the left hand side and Robbo's efforts to cut them out were poor.
You're not wrong. But at the same time, the entire defence was as shambles. 1st goal Fab was caught sleeping at the back post, 2nd goal Raya was well out of his box with nobody making any effort to pressure him and then Virgil made a piss poor attempt to put any effort into heading the ball. Alisson and the defence could've done more, the midfield and attack could've pressed a lot better.
It's all well and good saying all the goals came from play on Robbo's side but nobody was good enough defensively, simple as that. There were parts of play that led to the attacks going out to that wing that shouldn't have happened which was a failing on the attack and midfield not doing their job properly. If the rest of the defence had a good game and it was individually Robbo who had a mare then fair enough all the criticism going his way but it's not like that, the entire defence was sh*te. In fact, IMO the CB's and Fab were worse than Robbo. The CB's gave next to no support to Trent and Robbo, countless times there were balls into the box and Trent was going into an aerial challenge with 3 Brentford players surrounding him, like on the 3rd goal for example.
The entire team was poor defensively and I think it's one of our worst performances defensively for a long time. We were a mess from start to finish and weren't learning from the same mistakes that were happening time and time again.
At least Robbo got an assist for our 3rd goal so there is at least something positive to take from his performance.
