Could it be that our sudden failure to be able to work the ball "through
the thirds" was connected to the absence of ("pedestrian, sideways-only
passing") Kalvin Phillips as QB?Oh and just as an irrelevant counterpoint to the narrative that Burnley were robbed for that disallowed goal........the ref's call to give a freekick against Mee (which looked a bad decision in 100 slow-motion replays but in real time was not that bad) was balanced by the fact that the ball into the box came from a freekick which should never have been given anyway.
