I want to see them working as hard as they did in the 20th minute right up to 80 and the only change to be that they will kick themselves out of the 22. There were still far too many useless unchallenged midfield bombs in the second half, evidenced by the fact that we let the rabble catch up in virtually every stat.
In short, I love what they did last night, but they need to know that is far from enough to win against a really good team.
