Think the tempo we played at today helped massively too

When we were moving the ball about their was better movement, quicker release of the ball from player to player and also a few more one touch passes. A little bit of that opens teams up so much better.

Defensively, especially first half, we were really pressing them and pushing them back too, rather than sitting back inviting them in to us. In the all to rare occasions we do both these things we look a much, much better side.

OTBC!
