While I don't disagree that 3pts from 9 is bad (because it is, frankly), I thought we played the best soccer of the season. Against another contender, and we scored twice. Yes we gave up our lead twice, but I thought that was a strong showing. It looks like our attack is slowly getting more comfortable playing together, but here are the points I noted today:
1. Castellanos was even more invisible than Medina
2. Medina was invisible
3. Lewis didn't make any impact as a substitue
4. Sweat, oh Sweat, giving me reasons to love you (that play to Ring) and reasons to hate you (...) but I thought while we were playing 5 defenders, he actually did very well in his midfield role.
5. Maxi looks so lost, I'm not sure what changed from last season?
6. SJ had some... questionably awful... passes today.
7. Chanot and Callens are the only reason we have 3 points this season
8. Tinnerholm had some very nice runs and pushes on their midfield, and I quite liked it.
9. Dome, what the fuck are you thinking bringing on medina? Dumbest idea of the season.
I understood today what our tactics were, it just seems like he wants us to try and break through other teams through the wing rather than through the center- in fact most of our play up until the final third - seemed to come from the wings.
I do think, however, that had we kept the same tactics as the first half, with the 72% posession and what we had been doing, we could have come out of that match 3-1 winners.
