Our first half displays against both Liverpool and Wigan were a joy to watch. High intensity, one touch passing and movement into space. Without the ball we worked hard as a team to regain possession ....we were a credit to BC's vision of how it should be played....Barcelona in white. The occasional choice of a dribble made us difficult to handle. However, we have now seen the downside of when the movement stops. Against Wigan VDV's lack of stamina began to hurt while Sandro was running on empty after 70 minutes. Mr Connector Parker found himself with considerably less outlets for his passes and a one eyed Ade didn't really want the ball. Perhaps the classic instance of us being found out / wanting to only pass and not move, was the 5-3 reverse to Man Utd all those years back. In that game we also stopped the movement and they ran over the top of us.
Credit to Harry for the good stuff so far but he will need to ring the changes even earlier if we are not allow beaten sides to come back in the way ten man Wigan did today.
