Prompted by the news that Cohen's red will stand, I re-watched the highlights on the BBC site.
Hadn't occurred to me at the time, but their goal was another scored by a player finding too much space in the corner of our box. It's been a factor in a lot of the goals we've conceded this season - so I'm curious. I'm no tactical expert, but shouldn't we be denying space inside the box? Is it a problem with full-backs staying too wide or centre-backs' poor positioning? Or is it just one of those things - it's hard to deal with players drifting into those areas - and we've been unlucky? At ER v Norwich, I noticed the same problem, along with the fact we don't seem to man-mark opposition playmakers. Perhaps the two issues are connected. Anyone with a bit of tactical/positional/psychological insight welcome to respond...
