I thought this last night when I watched it live but just got home from work and watched the highlights.
Whilst it was JB's mistake. Their goal could have been stopped by Tarkowski. Why does he turn the opposite way to the side Watkins is on. Not only could he have closed the angle for the pass to be made by Rogers, he could have also intercepted it, it was literally right next to him. With better body shape, that gets mopped up easily.
DCL's tragic finishing on show yet again. Why has he tried the harder technique when he has none in the first place. As that is coming to him, just put your laces through it, like you would with a half-volley.
{Ed025's Note - for me Tarks was sold down the river by Jarrad BN, we had the ball and he inexplicably fluffed his lines and gave the ball to Rodgers, thats my view on it anyway mate..

Pickford didn’t need to be where he was either.

Totally agree the mistake came from JB Ed but defenders (especially ours) should be expecting mistakes. His starting position and body shape was appalling. Just have a watch back and see him turn the opposite way to where the danger is. Why is he so far away from Watkins, leaving a gaping hole for the ball. He has been at fault for most of our goals in the last 4 or 5 games mate.
Bobby makes a good point as well. I am by no means blaming Pickford or digging him out but his starting position should have been much better/ higher. He could have got there well before Watkins if it had of been.
Anyway, on to the next one hey.
{Ed025's Note - yeah mate no use crying over spilt milk..
