I'm not sure the performance today was all that different to most of the games at home. Defended solidly and didn't really look like conceding but struggled to create real chances. The number of shots will mask that a little but we had a lot of 'free hits' today where you'd expect any keeper at this level to save them, and we restricted them to the same. What really worried me though were the number of times the ball went to Baker and Chester and there was literally no one in our central midfield for them to pass to. Baker can't pass for shit, everyone knows that, so why are we forcing him to attempt 40-50 passes so often? The other major problem was the 5-6 times that our players didn't know what to expect so the pass and run went in opposite directions. That's why I blame this on piss poor training, all too often we look like we don't play together enough. It's why the tempo is so slow as well, everyone is waiting for someone else to show them what to do. Grealish helped a lot because he came on and made decisions and Hourihane in particular started to respond to that.
