If Wan-Bissaka had done his job instead of ball watching there wouldn't be this debate.But he is only young and inexperienced and these things happen with such players.

Also why on earth did we have 2 players on the edge of the area nearest the corner taker NOT marking anyone instead of inside the danger area in the box ?

I don’t know exactly how much of this is down to our shoddy defending of corners, but I do know that we have dropped 10 points by conceding goals in the last 15 minutes. If we had seen out the games better, we would now be 9th in the table on 41 points.

I think he generally stands an the front post to head out anything too short. If the ball goes over him it should be snaffled by Hennessey; if it's high enough to clear him you need someone to clear it from the far end of the six-yard box.

corner cover - is that not a female tennis player?

Should always have a player on the back post, schoolyard stuff as seen with the Spuds etc.
