Some lovely football played by us today until the final pass - against a team just content to defend with all behind the ball you have to take your chances. We didn't and that cost us. Three uncontested headers from six yards out should mean you get at least one goal. Plus a lot of dragged shots indicates fatigue.
Just one of those days for Erling - you will not see him miss such a sitter very often.
Laporte worries me - Pep said he wanted him in to improve the teams passing on the left side but I didn't see anything that Nathan hasn't done, I felt in the second half he had many chances to play the ball quickly to Jack who was creating stuff but elected to keep going inside to Bernie to take four extra touches - plus he went to ground far too easily for their goal. Hey you never know Eddie may make a vital save soon!
Don't despair blues - we didn't lose, onto the next I guess but a big opportunity spurned - great performance & woeful finishing just about sums it up.
