I just don't buy this perception of "dropping off". A drop off would mean we have some sustained spell of good attacking moments. There wasn't anything of that tonight. We caught a break cause De Gea was in fetal position. But we played exactly the same before and after the goal - unable to string more than 3 progressive passes together and go back to Ramsdale.
Yeah, the standard was lowered and people were actually calling what was nothing more than adequate pressing and a couple of corners "domination"
We were in decent shape, that's it. They were starting to get out a couple of shots too when that gift happened. After that one team decided to focus and the other decide to sit back and hope it was enough.
