A very poor performance.First half we were understandably sloppy...We had 3 rusty attacking players on the pitch so I could understand why we weren’t playing incisive football.Fred and Mctominay were good in the first half,but all our attacking players were poor.Bruno Fernandez in particular had a terrible game.
The 2nd half was only marginally better,Ighalo scored a good goal but there was absolutely no tempo or dynamism to our game.Our full backs and wingers weren’t putting enough pressure on them...
The 30 minutes of extra time was pedestrian,but fortunately Harry managed to sneak in a goal right at the end.It was interesting to see us play such a high defensive line,especially in the first half.Wonder if that tactic will be used more often in the future...
All in all it was a very dissapointing performance,and those extra 30 minutes could prove to be costly in the near future.Thankfully we are through to the last 4,but we have to play much much better than this if we want to reach the final...
