Not a bad point considering we’re miles off our best this season.
We certainly missed Eddie today, with that high press he’d have found space in behind.
We looked nervy playing out from the back.
We also need to play to Haaland’s strengths more.
Get crosses into the box and when we do the need to be better quality.
Play through balls for him to run onto.
David Silva would get so many assists with Haaland.
It’s either a treble falloff or because of the large change in important personnel, maybe both, but we ain’t at it this season.
I’m just glad we’re still in the running considering how poor we’ve been defensively this season compared to our usual high standards.
We’ll evolve again, we always do.
So I’m not too frustrated as we’re still there.
