Exactly. Really we played a really good, established premier league team who have excellent players and are in Europe and we made them look shit for 25-30 minutes. Yes the clear-cut chances did not come but it was great. Second half they were better but we never looked totally outplayed (they are going to trouble any team) and that they pulled 10 men behind the ball after they scored was a testament to us I think.

We were the better side first half, them second. I agree, a draw would have been fairer but I've no real complaints.(Bearing in mind it was 5 years ago yesterday that we got Steve fukcing Evans!!)

I don't know I thought the first 30 minutes was fantastic. Some great football. Yes the second half not as good and they got to grips with us but a draw was definitely merited.

I’d like to see Pablo given a start - we need some guile, and whilst he’s not a long-term answer, he’s the best we’ve got. The way they pinned Dallas back and snuffed us out suggest Santo won the tactical battle, although a draw would have been merited imho. We better get used to that - not everyone is going to come and take us on, so some flexibility is going to be required? Some shocking crossing, and passing, at times, and Phillips was v lucky to stay on the pitch - very stupid, and I bet Southgate made a note of that tackle? The defeat will probably do us more good than a 0-0 though - a bit of expectation management for us all ;-) Sent from my iPad > On 19 Oct 2020, at 22:49, Nick <n...@6haroldplace.co.uk> wrote: > > That fell flat didn’t it. > > With the exception of Meslier, Koch and perhaps Rodrigo, no one was really on > their game today. > > Unlucky goal again, but we’ve got to do much more with possession.
