Ok, good result. Not too bad a display. 2 goals from Harry.
Since the restart we are 4-2-1. Performances aside, I reckon we are not too unhappy with that, are we?
Are we not the clumsiest set of footballers to play in the PL for some considerable time? They just look so unbalanced. Always on the verge of falling over, like they're drunk.
At the most basic level we are very poor. Ball control, weight and direction of pass, movement, strength.

I reckon you'll be OK with it if you get your rhythm right.
