Interesting to look at the stats from our game

Even on almost every metric except obvious goals, they had a few (but not that many) s**t on target, a lot more corners but most notably committed three and a half times more fouls than us. In fact we only committed 4 fouls apparently.

Aside from the fact that also hints that we didn’t make that many tackles, I would tentatively suggest we need to get more cynical, get in their faces snd take these f**kers out early in their attack building process where we are less likely to get booked.
