Plays essentially as a centre half when a team is on the counter attack leaving the man out wide in acres of space. Clueless with his positioning as @The Godfather said.

Hasn't a clue how to defend (Wallace is the exact same) but can be a threat going forward with his pace. Both are essentially the same type of player so doesn't really matter who gets the nod I suppose.

I don’t think that’s his problem I think that’s what Murty wants him to do, Tav is doing the same on the other side and Wallace used to do it too. I agree that he’s a pish defender tho

Then if that's the case Murty needs to have a word with himself. Allowing a winger that much space and time is suicide mate.

He releases the ball 5 seconds late all the time, cuts in on his bad foot all the time, and he canny defend.

 

But other than that.....

makes you wonder why we signed him on a full given we knew this from his loan. Maybe it's the best we could get which is another worrying aspect of it

He's a terrible defender

as for candieas a shitebag as seen at the first goal,and still not beat a man since he came,couldn't even beat a Fraserburgh player, all he does is pass 5 yards and get the ball in the box from where ever he is on the park

It's pretty common tbh. First priority to cover tight for the centre halves, second to cover the wide man.

Thought he was rubbish first, better second half. Definite threat going forward second half.

Candeias had a bad, bad game. His work rate was still good, but that was it. Definite booking as well, then was stupid enough to lunge in shortly after. Didn't commit a foul, but all it would have taken was a small mistake for him to have been off. Lacked the discipline to stay on his feet having been booked.

It's basic stuff.

When one fullback is going forward, either the other three in defence should move over to make a back three, or a good DM will slot back to make the 3/4

Barca and Man City were a prime example of it. City losing De Jong after their title win made their defence look like shit  Barca, even at their best, were vulnerable without Busquets
