It was a plan that worked better than they expected. Mistakes are mistakes regardless of scale, they were waiting for them 100%, they’d have dealt with us all night.
They’d have bought a draw before KO but we were dumb enough to go one better.
Yes, hardly a masterclass, but to sit back and wait for mistakes was a plan executed well. Respect has nothing to do with it. It’s crystal clear that they’d done homework.
There’s very big near misses every single game. Fortunately all the calamitous plays don’t result in goals.
Not sure I can remember any flawless defensive displays this season.
