Just my opinion but I think the issues for us.

Lack of depth- oz after the 1st game we’re able to analyse and make the changes they felt were needed. Missing 3-4 players like we were didn’t help and hurts us, oz just have more to call on, I think it was an ALM page that posted all the oz guys playing in championship and there is a lot vs our 3-4.

Tactics- after that 1st game popa played the same formation but put in his speedsters they new what they needed to do, when it was obvious they were going to run through the middle more Baze needed to get Bell to drop back from that close CM team  to be more a screen right in front of the center backs, we just left to much space between Bell and the CBs for oz to work in.

And as others have said with Wood being double marked and a close eye kept on Just we really need others just having shots to try pull a defender off of wood, doesn’t matter if there on target all it needs is for them to have to pull a guy of wood to go to more of a “coverage defence” then “man defence” and it might just give Wood more to work with
