Just seen the replay from behind the goal, Rodon would have had to be 10 feet tall to get to their third.

Rodon is the right sided CB and should have been marking the Center Forward in that situation. Not leaving it for the RB. This is simple marking responsibility. Thus the criticism is justified.

Garbage performance all round, not played well and Farke has to have a slight rethink on his tactics as we are now way too defensively set up

Not great, but then this is the best team in Europe.

Let’s keep some perspective. It’s the next match that is more important

If he jumps he heads it comfortably away

One or two seats emptying. I hate that, I’ve never once left my seat early regardless of result or performance. Those doing so need to take a good look at themselves. There’s twenty folk waiting for season tickets for every seat left.

We had a stinker coming at some point.

Just so happened it came against the league leaders.

Time to get out the tinfoil helmets.
