Well that was a hard 90 minutes to watch.
1st half I thought we played really well, in fact dominated Roar and were unlucky not to score more. Really pleasing to see Hemed score with such composure, hopefully there is more to come.
Waine came on early in the second and things started to change. Roar clearly came out with different instructions and they changed their shape early which we failed to adapt to. I'm assuming the changes we made we to save players for the Wednesday game, but they really hurt us, and then for Talay to put 5 at the back and concede immediately was just horrible - everyone knows you cant sit on a
1-0 lead and expect to win. Poor coaching right there.
As for the two handball decisions, if Ball's goal is correctly wiped due to handball then the contact with the hand has to be called as a penalty. Yes it look accidental, but the hand was in an unnatural position and making his body wider. Should have been called by the VAR, but I guess the reason for not overruling was the whole clear and obvious error???
