    Was very poor for the Matondo goal, letting the ball go past and the not helping to close him down.

    Carbon copy of the goal in the 2-2 game last year.

    Lets wingers cut inside far too easily.

    Before that, watch the replay and you'll see.

    Aye but think he should’ve been there to cover him, and I mean just in general.

    Always willing to let someone cut in rather than show them down the line.

    Cant fault that he knows what it means to wear the hoops. I like his aggression, I prefer him to Lustig actually, best right back since Didier Agathe

    I do like him but it's not really been his year. I do prefer him to juranovic for us at least.

    Just before that AJ could have easily won the ball, but let it roll right past him.

    Had a decent first 6 months when the team was flying. He's been pretty poor since. He's had too many big mistakes.

    He's been poor this season, appeared to have improved the last few games but today was a step back. Bit of a liability in games like today.

    Not even close to the contribution of Lustig.

    He had a * horror show, Yang is being focused on for their equaliser but just what the * was he doing, he * an easy clearance and then hid in the box nowhere to be seen doing * all.

    Yang’s being slaughtered for a * attempt at covering his man, and it was, but AJ * that major. The penalty they got, everycunt screaming that it’s never one, I think it was but regardless of if it is or isn’t, he dived in, scuffed the ball, and hit him in the thigh. If the * wasn’t diving already, he’d have been by him and got the ball already. I like AJ a lot but he * us today. Focus I’ve seen has been on Yang, it should be on him.

    In added time they had to be more aggressive in defending, him and Yang gave Matondo WAY too much space, get tight close them down and hoof the ball up to idah to try get us back up the pitch. Then him or Yang letting matondo cut in on his right which if you watch any of the Huns other games that’s what he always does then shoots. Very bad defending for it. Passive

    See at first he dropped deep into the box to cover Cantwell I think it was but then CCV stepped over and he should have pushed out towards the edge of the box.

    Yangs effort at stopping Matondo was pathetic but if Johnston steps up he doesn’t get the space to come in like that. It’s just so poor all round though you never show a winger playing on the opposite side in on his stronger foot, if Yang lets Matondo run that to the byline he more than likely runs it out or turns towards the corner flag.

    I am still raging at it, the full approach to the last two goals was pathetic, McGregor had a very simple little 5 yard pass to release Bernardo right infront of him and played the horrendous aimless pass. I know he isn’t fit but that was very poor from a seasoned pro.

    It doesn't go behind him, he positions himself wrongly, has half a kick at it and misses it. Danger should have been cleared then. He later should have went and helped Yang as he's free and just standing there which he doesn't. Just rewatched it and it's really poor from him.
