And no, it isn't Danny Rose, per se. Yes, he was, or his flank was, involved in all the goals we conceded, but they targeted their attacks and their quickest/flair players down that flank knowing full well that most of the time poor Danny would get sod all support from our inside forwards/wing- forwards/whatever-the-hell-they-are.
Prime example was the third goal with Chadli just jogging back as Llalana (I think) made the run into the box.
Yes Danny Rose is our weakest full-back defensively (although we might have more of that to come with Yedlin, who knows) but if Poch wants him in the team for his attacking drive, he needs to instill some work-rate in whoever plays in front of him so he's not isolated so much.

Walker and Rose aren't good enough for you lot

No support from Lamela and Eriksen tracking back and winning tackles. Our full backs are exposed and when they do make a forward run they have no wingers to pass to as Lamela and Eriksen persistently drift towards the middle of the pitch. Chadli may stay wider.

They were both brilliant three days ago, so yes they are good enough.

OP agree completely. Too many games where Rose is isolated and exposed. In a game like tonight that is inexcusable.

Walkers pace is an asset but I don't really see anything in Rose.

Rose had a brain fart for the pen but is improving. Had to deal with both Ibe and Markovic on his own at times.
Eriksen looked knackered hence the sub, but he and Lamela work very hard so I don't think we can't criticise them too much.

Rose was left 2 on 1 for the winner.

Agreed Dexter, that's my concern. If teams are going to target that flank we need to take note.

Rose was not left isolated for third goal. Bentaleb was assisting but llalana made a run inside and you will see that Chadli let him run off him.
