You have such a weird obsession with this notion of every player having to be on the edge of their own penalty box when the opposition move forwards. It is completely baffling.Just look at the work rate of spurs without the ball compared to us it is like night and day, if we had the same ethos we would be hammering teams. Barnes is just not in this game there is no desire to get on the ball, he is not making himself available and he is not willing to get back and help out, it is baffling as to why he is not.
We are good going forwards it is the desire to get back that is hurting us and it is has been the same under Rodgers since he has been here.
Maddison has been out best player, perhaps the best player on the pitch and you were wibbling about him not 'tracking back' earlier. I'm glad he realises how to do his job better than you.
