It's very easy, of course, to single out a situation spanning over 15 seconds pinpointing every fault that eventually led up to the goal.
But sure they're the most important 15 seconds in the game?
Listen, you have Suarez in the side, teams are nervous and you
can get away with shoddiness at the back because the teams
are wary of pushing extra men forward from the back.
Without Suarez, these things make the difference.
You simply can't afford to let the opposition waltz deep into your
territory with intent and expect to get away with it away from
home.
It's collective failure, failure of the system and sure Pardew knew
these weaknesses, I can hear him in the dressing room hammering
the point into the full back about the overlap and Glen Johnson &
telling the other lad about the space behind Moreno.
Most likely there are other blatantly obvious ways to get a goal against
us that anyone with video-player could figure out. It's why we concede
so many.
