Was a strange performance, definitely not near our best but what I liked was we kept going for that incisive pass, they often weren’t coming off but eventually they will, can’t have it both ways and complain about the safe back/side pass that we had become accustomed too in previous years.
On a side note, find it weird that we’re the only team that blocking the goalie on corners seems to have become the main tactic. If refs are really now allowing that not sure why the other teams aren’t doing it each other every match, including us. When it’s allowed it causes havoc anytime a good ball comes in. I know they’re saying it’s a Vicario weakness but any goalie fouled the way he was v City and Everton would struggle…
