The moment Cuadrado was one on one with a defender in the box when we were 2-0 up around the 70th minute and instead of attacking him, he stopped and turned back sums up the team and allowed the whole Samp team back behind the ball.
The desire to play a safe pass backwards or sidewards always seems to be greater than going for the kill even when the reward in situations outweighs the risk.
Whilst Samp helped us by not really pressing the ball regularly with any cohesion, we looked more comfortable in possession again and not frenetic today. We only look likely to lose it when it goes to Pellegrini. Arthur and Locatelli are doing well together, who would’ve thought.
