It was a great first half, we were just not good enough in front of goal. I can't remember a Sp**s attack from the first 15 minutes. They got lucky with their goals, and that's it.
Yeah, but scoring goals (or stopping the other team from scoring) is the whole point of the game.
We came out with a lot of energy and dominated the match, but Emery didn't pick a squad with attacking players who could turn our dominance into goals. Our goal in the first half was from a PK.
In the second half, Emery brought on Laca and Ramsey, and they could turn our dominance into goals.
In the first half Emery did only dominance but not goals. He got it right in the second half.
