Reassured to check in here tonight and see everyone felt as positive as I did about that. Which isn't meant as a criticism of people, I just wondered if I was out of my mind to think it was actually a solid performance. I appreciated that we actually pressured the ball more in the first half than usual, and unfortunately seemed to wear down in the second.
Agree with a few other people that thought Yedlin and Schar were the standouts from the backline, and that the midfield and forwards deserve credit for how hard they at least worked. I'll never criticise Ritchie for his effort, and definitely thought his contributions in his first seasons for us were underrated, but I still think he's played out of position at LB/LWB. He just seems too uncomfortable as a defender to close down players in and on the edge of our box.
