This first half, second half contrast is interesting as we keep seeing it. I think it is about game management for the season. First half, pass the ball around though not at top speed and prioritise not giving the ball away and not conceding. Don't worry if they score one. Blitz them in the second half. So, 50% less energy used up and in the bank for 3 days later. Didn't work perfectly today as we did give the ball away too much in first half but over the season, especially since December, its worked brilliantly. Also, takes into account that if opponents score one, there is no crowd there to spur them on to another.
