Two average football teams playing average football with an average intensity in an average derby with an average atmosphere from both sets of fans and it’s 0-0.
I don’t think anything about it could be any more average.
We didn’t create a bloody thing in 47 minutes. A few average shots from the edge of the box. They had better chances, one of them was a sitter. They look more dangerous when they do attack, but they hardly ever do.
Kovačić‘s jogging back when we lose the ball is winding me fucking right up. Other than that, nobody else has done anything particularly wrong, just nobody has particularly done anything full stop.
Complete damp squib of a derby. Neither team seemingly understanding it is one: all smiles and friendly handshakes pre-game, all patting each other on the shoulder after tackles, picking each other up off the floor, no bite, no intensity, no purpose. If this is what we’re bothering with serving up, might as well just call it 0-0 pack it all in at half time and all go home.
Average!
