Did we though? We got caught out by two mistakes, but I wouldn't say we say any deeper than our usual counter attacking formation, and the full backs kept getting forward. A bit more cutting edge (Almiron was better today, Joelinton needs to be more selfish and have a shot more often) and we get that second goal and the game is a lot more interesting. Even at 2-1 the game was far from over, and this is against the potential title winners. Bereft is incredibly harsh, especially with the injury issues we have.
Thought Shelvey had a better game today too, in a game where we didn't have much possession he had made some key passes, particularly that one up to Almiron which Joelinton fluffed with the poor pass to Farth. He covered some ground too which makes a refreshing change, if he could do that consistently I'd be a lot more positive about him.
