Finished the game on VOD. Second half thoughts:
Kane's goal was delightful and the assist from Christian was lovely. And Son's second was such a comedy of errors.
Dominant from the end to the start. I do agree with mouse that we need to tighten up the backline. But I also agree with another poster that pointed out that we don't have an out and out shield in front of the backline to steady the flow. The closest we have is Sissoko this season and while he is doing a good job, he is obviously mainly a box to box guy. If we could get an out and out DM in to partner with Moose and Winks that would certainly steady the ship a bit
Oh completly. Defending should be started as high up the pitch as possible. Our deep midfield is our weakest area by far.
This is how City and Pool get their GD. Slaughter the minnows. We need to be ruthless.
I agree, our defending has been meh, but these teams have put up similar performances against all the title contenders.
Yeah I agree. It seemed like we hadn't smashed anyone to bits for ages. But I prefer a 5-0 to a 6-2.
Anyone who looks at a result like that without watching the game and the narrative will be that one team where absolutely dominant. But reality is that If the losing team had put anyway the chances they where allowed to have then the game would have finished with a tighter scoreline.
