There is still a lot of work to be done. We definitely lost control of the game in the last 20 mins and were bullied. José clearly unhappy with that. That drop off of attitude and commitment will be the biggest thing he'll be working on.
Going forward shouldn't be as big an issue. With Dele in the free role, we immediately regained our attacking mojo. A joy to watch.
Far too much hoofball for me though. Contrary to most, I like playing out from the back, and I like a possession game. But I also like full backs who stay back, and a proper defensive midfielder protecting the back 4 and enabling the pivot.
So pros and cons. Lots of evolution to come.
I wouldn’t call it hoof ball, there is a middle ground between suicidal pissing around with it at the back and aimless long balls
