Are you serious?
Are you seriously defending him on the basis that he screwed up three times, but they didn't score so it's all good?
Well they scored the time after that and it wasn't because he was in an attacking position, it was because he blew up his assignment.
At that point he wasn't playing the inverted role. He was supposed to be defending and even if we take accept your argument that he wasn't in a position to cover Iwobi in the first phase, then what was the excuse for not tracking back to help defend the middle?
Yet another thing he's done repeatedly, and criminally so in a game in which we're a man down.
What's the excuse for that?
