I'll bet you're fun at a party.I don’t want to sound too critical after a win, but for the most part this was one of those “all bark no bite” matches against low block teams that has been the norm for the majority of the last 18 months. Besieging the opponent inside their own half doesn’t mean much if it doesn't lead to chances, which we struggle with regardless of who we play. These lot couldn’t string three passes together all night, they were not even Championship level. Yet to break the deadlock we were almost entirely reliant on wingers delivering pinpoint balls against a set defense. There’s nothing sustainable about this, as the dry spell we've been going through in the league shows. Nor will everything be alright once Romero, VdV or any other player returns.
Ange getting found out is the biggest cliche at this point, but under him I feel like our game becomes even more repetitive and duller as time passes. Our attacking patterns lack imagination and creativity. In fact in terms of how much we cross the ball we look like an old school team, the only difference being that it's low crosses that we spam.
