A bit of a shitshow in the end, we let them turn the match into a cup match, end to end which was disappointing as doesn’t suit our style at all.
We put in a 6/7 out of 10 performance and looked content to bide our time ‘hoping’ for a breakthrough. We needed more overall.
I would rather get beat playing our way, based on the result a tactical tweak too far by Pep in a big game once again.
Rat face and his chums from Sky can wank themselves silly about the good old days of tough tackling but there was at least half a dozen outrageous decisions from Alty, both sides being penalised. Now refereeing by hindsight since the start of this season, only a foul if a goal is scored, absolute bull shit.
Poor from Joao at the goal, so weak in the challenge and almost did it again late on.
Not the end of the world given our position, we need to bounce back next week in the right way, which I’m sure we’ll do.
