While I age that I don’t think we’ve conceded from Sanchez losing possession, surely Ings, Sanchez OG and Lanzini goals were all from open play?

Rodon is very strong in the air so should definitely improve us in that area.
I also think that Vinicius will help when it comes to defending set pieces as he is 6ft 3in and used to be a centre back.
I personally think that Jose relaxed at 3-0 and didn't make tactical substitutions which would have seen the game out.
Unfortunately he didn't see the comeback happening so kept the likes of Davies, Doherty and Vinicius on the bench, all 3 of them would have helped in the last 10 minutes but all our subs had already been made.

Did you see his pass to Son? It was about 60 yards diagonal and set us up for an attack - think it might be the one Kane hit the post from.

Goals scored by our opponents from open play is probably 1 if you don't count the o.g. as it wasn't a chance scored by an opposition player.
Lanzini was indirectly from a set piece which was cleared.
All technicalities that can be debated but it does show that we are contributing to the goals being conceded more than the opposition are being made to work for them.
The positive is that these can surely be fixed fairly easily.

I meant before the West ham game which has been eradicated from my memory.

Like opinions on here are only valid if they agree with the mob baying for blood and looking for a scapegoat, I suppose?

I also thought I’d seen somewhere he plays left centre back for Columbia?
Rodon prefers left side though, strange a right footer does but so did Terry and King and for me he’s just gotta play.
He can’t do any worse then the shit show of defending against West Ham and he plays international football and LOVES defending.
Gotta take the chance sometimes, as Poch would say ‘be brave’, why keep playing out of form / unconvincing defenders when we’ve just bought a young lad who is raring to go.
He may make some mistakes but at the moment his ceiling is certainly higher and he’ll learn from them.
Sanchez and Toby need to be gone as soon as possible so we will need a couple more centre backs as well.
Very true, although I hop he impresses because we're going to need someone to deal with Wood & I don't confident that either Toby or Sanchez will do this. If he looks OK maybe play him in a 3 & tell him to mark Wood.

Looking at transfermrkt it says he’s a righty.
