I guess we had two chances in approaching the game,do what we do and see who wins battle of the press,or do what others have done to them,sit back fill the central area in front of the box and hit them on the counter.Surprised by our lack of intensity given Poch's demanding style.
Thought it might be a much different 2nd half from us but...
Today was like two self inflicted gunshot wounds.
I can understand in his career atm Poch thinking we play how we want to play regardless of opposition,god knows if we had set up to stiffle them&still lost he would have been slaughtered for not doing what we normally do.In hindsight,parking a bus of sorts and playing counter couldnt have done much worse.
That kind of choice becomes easier with experience,its not down to us to be crowned champions of the press,but to win games.At this moment our team is young and our manager too so guess we will remain gun ho until we grow a bit in experience from mistakes.
