Our defence is known for its solidness and keeping cleansheets, not conceding many goals but why have we let in 8 goals in 2 games with a few share of them easily preventable as well as 3 the other week in the 1st leg against Chelsea.
On the flip side we are also scoring a lot of goals at the moment but that means nothing if you are leaking them too and giving away the lead. In the last 4 games we have taken the lead 4 times and only once have we came away with the win (against Blackburn).
I know that it isn't just the back lines fault but they have always been so reliable.
The only thing I can think of as to why we are leaking goals is because we are a lot more gung-ho at the moment but even so I cant see why this would effect our goals against because we didn't let any in against Madrid, Villa, Blackburn and only 1 against United.
One thing I am slightly dissapointed about is on 1 of the Arsenal goals Carragher just stayed sat on the grass, he was skipper tonight so the defence would have probably been following his lead even more so. Usually we see Carra rallying the defence after a goal gets let in and then we are fine for the rest of the game, but tonight it just didn't seem like the usual Carra that is so damn reliable you would put your house on him preventing a goal and getting the team going.
It's hard to describe but I think you get the general gist of what I mean, we need to improve this and no doubt Rafa will be giving the team a rollocking on the defending aspect.
Your thoughts?
