We created a lot more than I expected us to, and gave up as many chances as we would have if we'd played scared against them like we usually do.Gsbgsb wrote:We created chances accepted but we were only going to get a result if we took those and at the same time kept them down to maybe a couple of goals.
I don't think you give them anywhere near enough credit for being an absolutely sensational team, and you are highlighting a weakness in the system without even acknowledging what it was doing.
Not only did it offer us a counter attack threat, it also helped us to stop their central defenders dominating the ball and playing as auxiliary central midfielders.
For the first time this season, that felt like a game where none of their defenders, full backs or centre backs, had an impact on the attacking play of their side. Interesting to note.
