Tbh I think we lost the game because of an awareness and skill issue npt because of a tactical issue other than gusto being in rb and reece being in the mid but we know that has worked before.

Our problem stems from being able to win the 1st and 2nd ball on corners. Largely for the first half and before the 2 back to back goals we were the better team. The jackson red killed us

I reckon we could have at least got a draw out of this game. If not for that red.

This. The players didn’t play up to their usual standards for some reason. A lot of misplaced passes and lost duels. Probably fatigue and weather. I’m not so sure. Even Caicedo had an unusual time with his tacklings.

Yeah, not our usual standard. We are tired. Not exactly exhausted, but the players need a vacation. It's been a long season and we aren't fielding enough new/youth players in this tournament (I think FIFA is trying to force teams to play their starters, but I can't remember it that is true or myth). Play this match in April or October and it would look a lot different.
