Stoke with men somewhat committed forward, the option to knock a ball long and hit them on the counter. Instead we decide to knock it around the edge of our box for no reason and end up giving a goal away.

We want to instil and encourage calm and control at all times I feel, and punting long balls up field, where there is no guarantee of reaching a blue target, doesn't suit that. That's commendable to a point but to do it in the 44th minute or whatever it was, when you're already 1-0 down, was pretty naïve. That feeds into the whole 'over coached' argument.
Having said that, it should have been avoided by Taylor on an individual level, it wasn't a risky pattern of play, wasn't a bad pass into him and he had options. He had a strange game Taylor, rushed things when he had loads of time and dallied when he had no time, then popped up with a really important goal. If he'd had more awareness, found a pass and we'd played our way up the pitch, we'd all be saying how well we'd done to get back in the game just before HT. Arguably, 'seeing out the half' could be seen as a bit of a negative move. |  |
