Paul is spot on to highlight Ashley Young's position when Mitoma started the move on the edge of his area. Not only was he out of the game on the right but also all our four front players were inside the penalty area.
That left five players to deal with the counterattack including the two central midfielders. Neither Gana nor Iroegbunam had the wherewithal or awareness to block the counter which left our three man rearguard totally exposed.
That was not the only time the central midfield looked wide open. Making the team a compact unit must be the first priority for the manager, especially given our lack of pace in all areas of the field.
