Shady, that is all well and good and his tactics worked most of the game. But dynamics of game changed because they made tactical changes and there was no response in kind from Poch. Not hindsight because as soon as I saw the how they began to play, I saw the possibility of goals coming and was pleading for us to change, but Poch didn't.We had 23 shots and 6 on target, we breached them a number of times and had them scrambling for balls and blocking shots so Poch's tactics actually worked, over both legs we had 35 (thirty five) shots and 12 on target. What you're focusing on is seminal moments in a football match which could have happened at ANY POINT over the course of 180 mins. It's all well and good saying the manager should have done this or done that but you're purely talking in hindsight so throwing blame on the manager is utter nonsense, this is football and it's something we just need to learn from.
