We controlled the first half and let them pass the ball in their own half and on the halfway line. Hence the huge imbalance in possession first half. I may dare suggest that we controlled the half.
Repeating this tactic in the second would have probably won us the game – but the whole attitude changed. Defend deep! Abject surrender of the ball and position. This game was there to be won and it feels like a defeat.
Fair dos to the defenders – great effort. I was close to giving my first ever 10 to a keeper but finally gave Rory a 9.
