I think it's the exact opposite, and bar another disaster class evening from Gomez and Fabinho v Real, I think we likely win that game, they didn't outclass us, outplay us, we gifted them all 5 goals, all 5
Our problems, as usual after storming to a 2 goal lead started when we STOPPED being direct and attacking and started trying to be cute and thinking we could engage Real at their own game
Trent's delivery and passing was brilliant again, because the runs were there for him to hit except for from Nunez at LFWD
Virgil hit a couple of his trademark passes to find Mo when they were trying to press us
Hendo slipped Mo in with a ball through the channel twice and took away the full back to allow Mo to feed Nunez for our opener as well as putting one on a late for Mo he fudged
We lost the runs in behind and all the quality playmaking from other players who are better at connecting our players runsa by trying to instill and persist with a designated playmaker who is incapable of doing so
It was all looking very good until we dropped off and tried to play Real at a game they're infinitely better at playing than we are and the calamitous defending from Gomez started
