Amazing how a wee Swedish team can find these top notch Ghanaians & Tunisians - we should ask how they do it.
We had our chances mind. You cannot miss two one on ones when clean through the middle and expect to win these games. We got what we deserved tbh.
The Swedish manager completely outsmarted Robson with one positional change. He moved Sadiq over to the other side to
put him directly up against Morris first half and it worked a treat - 2-0 & morris absolutely posted missing in his defensive duties, especially at the second, which of course their manager fully expected to be the case having seen him play. Good tactical management.
It was the wrong formation with the wrong players. 3 at the back against their quick skilful 3 up front, with Devlin at CB and Morris in front was naive and asking for trouble.
I liked the look of Jensen and McGarry. We looked much stronger on the left & will improve as they settle in. Its the right hand side thats the issue.
I’m done with Morris. He’s pish. A complete liability at wing back in a 3-5-2. He offers little going forward either as his end product is also pish.
It’s probably best we lost, the conference is gonna be hard enough, the Europa would have been embarrassing.
That’s me booked for Helsinki though, so gonna enjoy it regardless - COYR.
