KDB repeatedly not passing it to Thor in space, was very very frustrating!!!Nice straight forward win for a change
Frustrating watching us be so wasteful in the final 3rd though, we really could have had 6 or 7 in that 2nd half
It’s about getting the balance right between risk and control. Pep’s philosophy is to control games with little risk but the balance was much better today as I feel we have been far too controlling at times this season.What stands out for me is…
The refusal to pass forward into space when it’s clearly on. The amount of times the team go back instead of playing a forward ball that’s on is scary.
Haaland would have already been on 40+ goal this year if the team just went forward when it’s clearly on. I understand being patient and going backwards if nothing is on but good god I’m tired of seeing players turn back when going for the kill is on.
A few thought they were on the VAR thread...Well played all , fewer wums in the match thread, result
Yep, great commitment shown todayCan't fault the overall effort against (at times) the strange decisions from the match officials and against a team hell bent in spoiling the game in the first half.
