Well that was a change from what we've been seeing in the last 11 months
or so. Everything we would want - and expect - from this squad we saw
last night. That in itself raises many questions, but suffice to say
that the way the team played gives an insight into how good they can
be. Gone (mostly) were the aimless hoofs up-field, the charging towards
the ball at all times and players needlessly and carelessly losing
possession. Instead we showed the intelligence to hold off and drop back
into a defensive formation when necessary, while always trying to find a
way to attack. It looked like the players were playing instinctively
and trusting themselves and each other to make the run / make the pass ,
always looking for a free man. There were times during the game that we
made the scum look ordinary, which is always fun to see 😁
How much of this performance was due to who we were playing will become
clear in the next few games, but the fact that we can play this way
bodes well for the rest of the season.
MOTM for me was Max, with Koch, Willy and two pit bulls in midfield
close seconds. Everyone else did well enough with the possible
exception of Bamford and Junior.
It was also good to see some calmness on the sideline with the three
coaches concentrating on the game and trying to counteract Ten Haag's
changes.
Oh, and 20M for Harrison? He is worth way mare than that.
