Costing us and alarming amount of goals, no wonder Villa released him!

Hes having no support from his winger . Plus hes got a new partner in halford next to him so will take a while to get used to each others game . Hes been very good most of the season imo

He looks good on the ball but can't defend! He's also getting no support.

Both full backs struggling today and Ralls seems to be battling in midfield all on his own.

He is nowhere near the winger, winger on his own on the wing and Bennet in the center half position miles away and fulhams second goal offside, the first shot onside but tapped in by player on the goal line

I can't work out if it's 3 cbs or 1 Dm but it leaving the flanks so exposed and their wing back is having a party

This system doesn't work without possession and we are treating the ball as if it's fcuking toxic

The guy needs support. One on one against a tricky, pacy winger they need to double up.

He should stay out on the winger not keep coming inside in the center circle, then he would not be out of position and struggle to shut down the winger

It's their full back. Warnock needs to change this now

Sorry mate but he shouldn't be left 1 on 1 time and time again. He's got no support, Warnock has left the flanks exposed.

He is having a more defensively but to be fair he is having a go and I think Richards is too. We are struggling in mid field getting totally over run and being unable to string more than a couple of passes together when we rarely have the ball

He did get caught out numerous times....but their right wingback is supposed to be the quickest player in the championship

He would cause any full back problems with his pace...Bennett needed support and he didn't get any!!!!

In fairness to Bennett at least he kept going and did look quite impressive going forward

More comfortable with Peltier than Bennett.

You're right but the Fulham boy went past him on every 1 on 1.

You have to win your battle with your particular opponent and Bennett was taken to the cleaners today.

Yeah Pelts would have clattered him first time

Peltier is awful going forward but you rarely see him get beaten by a winger. And if he does he takes them out. Bennett was dreadful in comparison today, even though he does look more comfortable on the ball.

Full backs first job is to defend, if attacking winger has pace the winger drops back to help out, which hardly happened leaving Bennett to face a guy who had him done for pace.

Prefer my full back (like Peltier) to defend more than attack , thats why we have 2 wingers to attack and help out defense.

There are to many players not doing there own jobs properly putting others under pressure to make up for them.
