Could we be lacking in confidence due to our goalkeeper crisis. Foster and Gordon used to pull off big saves for us and that used to edge the team on. Knowing you have a goalkeeper that will command his area. No days every shot at our goal is a goal scored. Bain is never a no1 keeper and Barkas needs another run of games. I also heard Conor Hazard refused a new contract and will leave for free at end of season.

If our defenders have no faith in our goalkeepers,
They should be protecting them even more.

I think it's the goalkeeper who has no faith in our defence as they are all shocking.

It's definitely a combination of both, added to variety defensive partnerships between Biton, Ajer, Jullien, Duffy and four full backs.
Too much chopping and changing (much of it forced) , plus new goalie, a third choice goalie and a struggling Captain unable to keep-up; all adds up to why we are a bomb-scare defensively. No quick-fix either.

Well for me some of the problem is we played a winger at RB who can't tackle and is regularly out if position when the opposition attack. A midfielder (not ajer) at CB who can't defend, head and is slow. And for some reason Lennon thinks it ok to have both full backs up the pitch and leave just 2 CB and a keeper all of who we change week in week out. And where we get caught time and again on the counter attack. Also no cover from the holding midfielders one who seems time has caught up on him.

So is it any surprise we concede so much.

Yep the defence is a shambles but what bain was doing out in no man's land is anyone's guess but still looks better than the 5 mill Greek.

Personally I think barkas has bee nudged too early. Yes there’s been a few goals he’s conceded that he was at fault but come on, look at the performances of the 3/ 4 defenders in front of him. Defensively we’ve been a absolute shambles all season, and with all due respect to Bain who I think is a decent keeper no more than that, did any of us see us signing a £5 million keeper to play second fiddle to Bain? Yes a keepers job is to make saves, try keep clean sheets, but I have to say even Forster would struggle to keep clean sheets in this team right now with some of the horrific defending we’re producing. We’ve hired a sports physiologist, might I suggest lennon hires a top defensive coach.
