Theres been a lot of chatter about the fact we conceded 3 goals but imo they were pretty unavoidable. I mean we could have been closer to the shooting player but we just got unlucky with second balls drop to them on a sixpence. 90% of the time (made up figure) those shots are blasted over, fired straight at the keeper or hit a body of players. We just hot incredibly unlucky 3 out of 3 went in on the day. What impressed me more is we didnt look fragile, we defended balls in to the box well, some neat saves and the press from front to back was insane.
Yes we conceded 3 but it wasnt down to us being poor defensively, it was just a stroke of bad luck on the day. In camparison we scored 4/5 goals of different types all with great quality wr could expect to see more of not just first time lucky punts.
In attack we were beating them one on one, dribbling at sill and clinical in every facet.
In defence we were winning every aerial ball, pressing well, working tirelessly and not getting passed through or beaten.
For me it was 3 unlucky goals that on the day do not matter because we scored 5 of real signs of quality. On another day we wouldnt concede 1 of those strikes let alone 3.
Sorry but that is proper rose tinted glasses analysis they had 23 shots and if you follow the link and scroll down to the pitch map showing where they were from there were a lot from the areas they scored (
