Description of issue
There are multiple issues with this goal, starting at around 43:35.
The move starts when Betis midfielder William Carvalho plays a direct ball out right to Rodri, who initially goes after it but then suddenly backs off, allowing the Getafe defender Angileri to intercept. Surely Rodri should be more eager to go after the ball here?
Then Anglieri goes for an unnecessary header across his backline. (Yet another unnecessary header by a defender in this ME.) Wouldn't it be more realistic for him to take the ball with his feet, and then pass back to either his defender or another goalkeeper?
Lastly, both Getafe centre-backs Domingos and Mitrovic react incredibly slowly to the header when it looks like Domingos especially should collect it easily. By contrast, the Betis striker Højlund reacts instantly and takes the ball, leaving Domingos swinging at thin air as Højlund scores a very soft goal.
This is pretty much the state of defending in Football Manager 2023. It's moments like these that completely take me out of this game.
