I think you should watch the first half again and see how many times we suffocated them, though.That's why I said Man City are far better at it. They make less mistakes than any other team.
I dont think they deviated too much, we had to come out and be aggressive, force them back, there was no other choice. We played well but still nearly went 4-0 down at the same time, twice.
Romero hit the post and could have had 2 others go in too but went just wide and over respectively. We were a little wasteful but a good chance should also be making the opposition keeper work a bit harder, especially at home.
I can't understand what point your are making in the second paragraph. I'm saying we didn't manage to force them back as much in the second half because they made an effort to get more possession.
Of course we should have, but that's not really on the tactics, that's about the finishing? A chance is a chance, no? Or would a penalty not be a great chance to score just because it was blasted over the bar and the keeper didn't have to break a sweat?
