But surely the approach was different? I know we were building from the back but Winks was being tasked with coming to receive but was being a total coward with the ball so hard to get anything going like that. Also Mason seemed to have a more defensive mindset.I'd like to think that this is a reaction to the final if I'm honest. It would show they understand they didn't put enough effort in, and that they do actually give a fuck.
It's difficult to know and easier to say in hindsight but I do believe we'd have seen more in the final if the players had time to build up confidence and a bit more understanding. We'd probably still have lost but it may have been different.
