We did control the game but I can see where the OP is coming from in that you feel like you've seen this bad movie before, especially as the clock ticks on. It's worth bearing in mind Aberdeen had a couple of kids up front today - it would have been the same firefighting, backs to the wall stuff around the 60/70 minute mark if Cosgrove was there for them to launch balls up to. Would we have clung on?
A lot of this still comes down to Jack and Kamara for me. The former was tidy enough on the whole but he was doing his usual Scott Parker routine, slowing the game down and taking one too many touches. It feels like you can control games with them; you just can't kill them. Hopefully, Zungu gives us a bit of dynamism and unpredictability.
I also thought Morelos looked sluggish. Really nice play for the goal but could be doing with losing a couple of pounds.
