I put a lot of these so called mistakes coming to light down to my belief that when we have control of a game, we are very content chipping away for large durations on end waiting for our moment. I've seen us run the pace of a game for 30 minutes + without mustering an opportunity at goal. The longer we have our patches of dominance and don't do more with it, the more chance the other team will get a sniff through a slip or a goal against the run of play or even turn the tide and begins to take the onus.
For me what's more important isn't cutting out mistakes, some mistakes that can be brought on by going 1-0 down after dominating possession whilst lacking penetration or punch but to make the most of when we have large spells with the ball. We seem very happy in possession and I think we become a little complacent in these moments. When you've got the ball for 20 minutes, don't do anything of real significance with it but are happy passing it, moving, playing nice and neat and then a sudden you make a dodgy pass or are pushed onto the back foot it harms the team. For me it's more about taking advantage in spells of possession more frequently as opposed to ironing out silly little errors. Errors sometimes cannot be helped but what can be adjusted is the mindset when we have control of the game.
Teams will always get opportunities against you, you've got to make sure the games out of reach when in control of things before that occurs
