Looking at how poor city are defending and the mistakes they are making I think the defensive side of the game is lacking proper coaching in a lot more teams, not just us.

I said it, there is no consistent defensive unite side in the pl lcfc, afc, spurs, mcfc etc. but those teams deal with set plays very well.

Talking about poor mistakes, I was watching Robbie Mustoe's half time analysis about how we defend set pieces. Klopp is employing a hybrid zonal and man marking during set pieces so he is indeed trying to figure X it. The prob is that the players are just useless at attacking balls in the air. Check the first and fourth goal from Norwich. On the first, we allow the ball to drop in the box instead of actually attacking the ball before it drops. On the fourth, the same thing. Sahko and Caulker allow the ball to drop and get bullied by Jerome (really? ) and the goal happens. In summary, our players aren't getting bullied in the air. It's worse. They don't even have the guts to compete for the ball in the air. That is our issue. Defending is a mentality and a never say die attitude that is gained with time. Our defenders don't have that and have never had since BR took over. Klopp has a job on his hands instilling a warrior attitude into our players.

I think the problem is all the players just stand still, none react to the ball, or want to go an win it. They all stay planted and look scared of anything.

Exactly, Fencey. I saw the goals again a moment ago and they look worse each time you see them. Our players just stand and wait for the ball to drop before jumping while opposing players get in better leverage and use our players as ladders because they actually attack the ball BEFORE it drops. I'm not a coach and I can figure that out so why can't the players and coaches get a backbone, grow a pair, stand up like men and quit being the butt of the jokes and fix it? Aweful stuff, really. Our players are in fear for their lives each time the ball comes into the box. EIGHT goals conceded from corners this season. Really? This is becoming alarming and needs sorting, ASAP.

Actually Sakho and Can for the 4th goal Redohio - Can is still prone to lapses and was very poor for that 4th goal.
