Cliché - game of two halves.
Brilliant in the 1st.
Faded to nothing in the 2nd.
Thought Jürgen had done the trick taking off Moreno and Cou, just in time. We looked more solid at 2-3, the game settled down and I thought we would hold on. But undone again from a f**king corner
In saying that WE scored 2 from corners, and could easily ... EASILY ...have scored more goals, we were SO on top in the 1st half.
Moreno is an attacking LB, but when the tide turns, he's a liability. Ideally you have one full back who can do both - instead of Moreno who attacks, and Milly who defends. Need to melt them down into one player.
Also, when under the cosh, sometimes just need the guys up front to show a bit more composure, like instead of Firmino laying off difficult first time balls, take a touch, hold off the defender, settle the game down.
In saying that, thought we did calm things down at 2-3 ... just undone at the death.
Felt like a loss. But it wasn't. Still on top of table
Though can't help feeling pissed we didn't shaft them in their patch.
