Our passing is more hopeful than purposeful tonight.

Harrison looks off the pace again, his covering back just hasn’t been at his usual level last few games.

Raphinha nearly finds Rodrigo but just headed clear for a corner.

In the olden days (when I was young) when teams defended corners they had a man on each post. That may not have made a difference with their goal today - though it may if there were a couple of players there to try block the header - but I've never understood why that practice has died away. I've seen many a goal from a corner that could probably have been prevented by a defender on the line.

We play a short corner and end up with it back at Cooper at CH, no threat at all from our corner.

What’s with all the long balls?

We’re not gonna win headers against a team who are 3 inches taller man-for-man.

Not seen us play like this for a long time

Not sure what sort of corner that was, but since we can't score from then anyway, makes sense to work it around.

From a corner we end up passing the ball back to Cooper on the halfway line. WTF?
