Acknowledgement 1: Goldson and Helmander had perfectly good games today even if they were not pressurised to any great extent. They still had a job to do, and they performed well.
Acknowledgement 2: I'm in real danger of becoming Niko's FF fanboy but apologies shall there be none.
My polemic is thus. We came up against a team that played with a negative bank of 4/5, 5/4 as the game suited. Up to them. But we had numerous situations of corners and free kicks to profit from. We eventually did when Barasic scored. Yet, we have all observed from this season so far that Katic is our most potent weapon in these situations. I appreciate in a rotation formation that Stevie G operates he won't play in every game but we missed him today.
Also Jordan Jones has made a promising start, but I'm yet to be convinced that he is effective against a packed defence as he is an open game. We should have an alternative on the bench.
