I don't know how else to explain it. There's no points at stake, winning the game doesn't matter, winning the tie matters. We're much more likely to score from a corner than concede so you should go for it. Same with attacking in open play towards the end - they should try and make it 2-0 rather than protect a meaningless win.
I do get it, just don’t agree. It’s an aggregate score not points at stake, hence 1-0 is better than 1-1, besides more often than not we are woeful at set pieces. We defended well all game, why send everyone forward? Not worth the risk.
