It doesn't work, and just because you don't a lot doesn't mean you've played 'well'.One of the most noticeable things about the way we play. We make very, very few crosses into the box.I’m sure I read somewhere that Unai believes crosses are wasted passes.Could have done with Maatsen crossing that one in the second half rather than taking on the shot!

A mention has to be made for SJM cutting out that cross at the back post, if he doesn't do that our run probably ends.
Maybe the child in me but this does make me laugh!https://x.com/stokeyyg2/status/2005226152991072542?s=46&t=1A7xfLJNUgdI6215TY6YlA

Did they have any chances after our equaliser? Can't remember any.
