They had the best performing front three and midfield three throughout December - in a great run of form. Weren’t conceding goals either. Take that into account and add in the weird ass team we had to play, it was up to them to do the breaking down. Which they obviously did, just not as much as I expected.
But I think we stopped them playing well, not that they didn’t play well for another reason. Our midfield hassled and harried, Solanke was chasing the ball into midfield. Even Timo was making himself a pain in the arse.
Yes, creativity from us was an issue. Not good against a similarly ambitious side at home, but not the disaster of previous matches. Maybe some hope.
