That was probably the worst team display and worst individual performance for a number of players, since we’ve been in the PL.
Once we took a 2 goal lead, we became overrun in midfield; passes were often misplaced; players were so often caught in possession; and we looked knackered as early as half-time. It was crying out for tactical substitutions, but no, Eddie delayed his subs longer than his usual timings. To me, Mings should have replaced Lewis and go to a 5 man defence, to counter their effective wingers and add height at the back.
We just about scrambled over the line but stats show :
Possession 33% - 67%
Shots. 6 - 23
Corners. 4 - 8
But we won, so was Eddie right or just lucky?
