Every single goal against this season counts. It's not like last season. Oh, Bolton have scored after we fucked up, we'll just go and bang in another three. With a John Ruddy assist for good measure.
No, we need to avoid pointless goals. I suppose every goal is avoidable to some point, but I think we've conceded four bad goals so far. So I'm going to try to track who is at fault for every one we concede.
Everton 1st: Doherty (stupid FK to give away)/Boly (rubbish header)
Everton 2nd: Neves/Doherty/Bennett/Coady (in that order, such a bad goal)
Leicester 1st: Jota (giving it away cheaply)/Jonny (don't stand five yards off Albrighton)/Doherty (fucking moron)
Leicester 2nd: Jota (giving it away cheaply)/Coady (not out quick enough and turned his back on the shot)/Patricio (I think he probably should do better, others disagree)
Man City: Boly (not dealing with set piece into box)
Man Utd: No blame apportioned
Watford 1st: Patricio (Straight shot from 30 yards, no deflection, not in the corner)
Watford 2nd: Moutinho (Careless loss of possession from our own kick off)/Bennett (totally outdone by Pereyra's run)
Brighton: Doherty/Coady/Bennett (Combination of not picking up on a throw and not tracking Murray)/Traore (half asleep and allows Bruno to get ahead of him)
Tottenham 1st: Boly/Jonny (totally losing Lamela's run on a simple one two)/Patricio (right through his legs)
Tottenham 2nd: Jonny (not stopping the cross)/Bennett/Doherty (neither picking up Moura)/Patricio (not coming for a floated cross)
Tottenham 3rd: Boly (going for a header and vacating his area completely)/Bennett (no reaction to the rebound and Kane taps in)
Arsenal: Moutinho (switched off as they took a quick corner resulting in far too much room for Mkhitaryan)
Huddersfield 1st: Doherty (terrible pass and then failing to track run)/Neves (poor tracking on Mooy)
Huddersfield 2nd: Boly (needless free kick)/Neves (turned his back in the wall)/Patricio (shouldn't be beaten in that manner)
Cardiff 1st: Patricio (weak, indecisive, poor decision making, take your pick)
Cardiff 2nd: No blame attached
Chelsea: Coady (not enough on his header and bullets it in)
Newcastle: Coady (beaten too easily by Perez in the air)
Liverpool 1st: Neves (not tracking Fabinho's run)
Liverpool 2nd: Saiss (poor clearance) / Bennett (allowed the ball to go through to van Dijk)
Fulham: Saiss (soft free kick)/ Doherty (failed to deal with Mawson at the back post)/ Jimenez (jumped into his own goalkeeper)
Tottenham: Cavaleiro (cheap loss of possession)
Palace 1st: Coady (too slow to get out, leaving Ayew in a position where he was marginally offside rather than miles offside)
Palace 2nd: Bennett (penalty conceded)
Man City 1st: Doherty (lack of awareness and poor body shape, easy run in behind for one of the world's best wide players)
Man City 2nd: Bennett (penalty conceded, no need to make the challenge)
Man City 3rd: Traore (no attempt to close down, not even a token effort) / Saiss (should do more with a header there having won it)
Leicester 1st: Vinagre (very poor cross losing possession)/ Bennett (missed header in the middle of the park)/ Saiss (bad backing off and then dived in to no avail)
Leicester 2nd: Jonny (loose touch inside his own area)
Leicester 3rd: Jonny (wild foul conceding free kick)/ Dendoncker/Doherty (failed to deal with Morgan at the back post)
Everton: Boly (too tight to Tosun and allowed him to half turn and play a ball into an onrushing Gomes)
Newcastle: Patricio (terrible kick in the first place then been made to look a mug at his near stick due to guessing) / Boly (completely beaten by a standard run from Hayden into the channel)
Bournemouth: No blame attached (not marking Moutinho down for someone taking a swan dive in his vague vicinity)
Huddersfield: Neves (careless loss of possession) / Jonny (beaten too easily by Mooy)
Chelsea: Neves (slight misjudgement in closing down one of the world's greatest players, sadly it cost us)
Burnley 1st: Coady (switched off and lost Wood) / Patricio (caught in no man's land, neither one thing nor the other)
Burnley 2nd: Saiss (backed off to zero effect, didn't block off either side or shepherd McNeil away from goal)
Man Utd: No blame attached
Southampton 1st: Saiss (zero awareness of where Redmond is and slack in getting to the ball)
Southampton 2nd: Saiss/Coady/Boly/Doherty/Jonny (they can all have one against here, just a total mess defensively and they're all culpable in some way)
Southampton 3rd: Traore (schoolboy lack of pushing out off a set piece, pathetic)
Arsenal: Neves (looks like it's him who loses Sokratis)
Watford: Bennett (just no excuses. It happens, but that was bloody dire)
Liverpool 1st: Jonny (didn't go with TAA's run)
Liverpool 2nd: No blame attached (not blaming anyone when it was offside)
