I thought we were a bit fortunate overall yesterday. We bossed most of the first half but did t create enough. Should have been 2 or 3 clear goals ahead going into the break. Higuain took his goal well but seems a bit laboured.
Fulham adjusted sad came back into it second half. Yes it’s a derby but we should have done enough to bury them.
My main issue is possession doesn’t equal incision. We’re not clinical enough.
Jorginho first goal /assist from open play in league. Our midfield is pedestrian at times and lots of sideways /backwards passing.
Top sides probe forwards more regularly and have blistering options on counter attack. We usually have a sole player who has to go backwards or hold the ball up for too long.
In short, I don’t think we’re dynamic enough with the ball. We don’t get it forward quickly enough at times but a welcome 3 points. It was really important after the North London stalemate. Gave in hand win puts us 4th.
