It's almost as if we were playing for the draw for the majority of that match.
- Lone striker for 70mins
- Our build-up play in attack is way too slow - Chievo never looked like they were under any pressure until there were only minutes to go
- We choose not to counter-attack half the time, even when the opportunity is there
- We don't want to go into and win 50/50 challenges. So many times we tend to hang back and hope they make a first-touch mistake
- Too many wasteful long balls in the first half. Pump the ball up to a lone striker - yeah, that works
- No threat to the defence. We aren't pressuring them to make any decisions. No overlaps, cutting runs etc. We get the ball and pass - easy to read, and fairly ineffective at trying to break a defence down
Most of those points have shone through in all our draws so far. Have to be addressed. They're my main concerns.
