Strange but its obviously a Pep style of play in which players are instructed not to shoot but wait for a perfect run to the goal mouth. Even lowly teams have now learnt to pack their defence.
I expect the same plot by United on Saturday with a quick counter spearheaded by Rashford.
70 percent and zero shots on target

That's actually something that crossed my mind recently. Why do you lose possession when you score a goal? It's very different to putting the ball out of play for a goal kick or throw-in.
You've actually achieved the ultimate aim of the game and you're punished by having the ball taken off you. Doesn't make sense.

nothing new to what has happened for the last 3/4 seasons!
you havent changed the way you play, teams against you havent changed they set out to defend and counter.
Your team not performing to the levels previously shown is the difference
