Ties in with what I said and have been saying for weeks, too many unaccountable attacking types and not enough manning up.
As they said in the video, nobody mans up anymore. Everyone plays zones.
Yes, it looks bad on Saad because he is in 2 of the clips, but previously it would show plowman and people would lambaste him for the same thing.
Its a bit funny, but the player you see closest to the ball once a mark is taken is usually the least selfish player as they actually tried to get there in the end, rather than everyone else who didn't even bother trying to get to the contest.
That is, Plowman would always be trying to man up 2 players because someone else left a man and ended up being 'the guy' who drew the attention for letting 'his' opponent get an easy mark. Reality was that he was covering 2 at once and could do no more.
In short, its more of a breakdown of the zone, than specific poor individual performances.
