It worked for 95% of the first half to be fair when we were the better team.
We still faced a lot of pressure at our goal area throughout the first half from kickoff. We might've had a few more shots on target but it was tame stuff. Only Pools wild messing up the shots and passes around our box helped us out, when this all started clicking for them the pressure they had all game took us to the cleaners.
I recall Bruno going out wide vs Palace, we were looking good at 1-0 before he moved out wide then we came under a lot of pressure, Bruno and Case messed up in each other space, he got booked, missed Arsenal and we conceded a late goal to Palace.
Holding our own to Arsenal and then Bruno goes wide for the latter part of the game, we then face immense pressure and lose a late goal and lose 3-2.
Not only that but ETH has acknowledged how good and hard working Bruno has done in the middle during the season. He should never be starting wide left against Pool away. TAA should be facing Rashford.
With Case not looking comfortable in today's match, ETH should've sorted out the midfield in the first half, should've changed at 3-4nil.
Dalot has been poor since coming back, AWB is the player in form and shown it again in the last match.
So many mistakes in setup leads to 7-0. Limping Case, Fred and Weghorst? Bruno wide left, No AWB.
