As much as we brickhoused our way to victory, we would have lost that game under Bruno Lage. The lack of intensity both on and off the ball is still rearing its ugly head and it’s going to take Julen Lopetegui another window and a summer on the training ground to eradicate that weakness. But […]

Plenty of pressure and good intentions after falling behind but never really looking likely to pick […]
