The Penalty Box Dancer
Player Valuation: £35m
No matter how you look at it, that was a tough game for us yesterday. But and here is the but, we should have done better. In that second half Stoke played a higher line and we kept breaking down the flanks but couldn't create enough to hurt them.
I watched on from our end and kept seeing pockets of space left by Stoke and we had no attacking intent to destroy them. We just wasn't clinical enough and I think Gylfi was a big loss in the no 10 role. We had nobody behind Tosun.
A side with a quality attacking unit would have put 5 past them. The spaces they left were incredibly open! But nobody in the centre to drive at them.
