I agree this was part of the problem, but equally, the CF running back 30 yards to pick up the ball was a tactic they had obviously prepared for and he was marked very tightly. My issue was that we didn't seem to have an alternative option in the first half. The rest of the forward line was too...
If we can keep in the game, through the first half , we can beat anyone in the second. I think it is just no team can play the low block all game . Their players clearly dropped off second, leaving space for Pedro etc that Welbeck and Fati just never had first half.
