The same pundits who slammed how we played in these games last season? Maybe we should just be grateful to be allowed to play them and bin any plans to try and win the game.
They didn't actually criticise us for being more open. They noted Pep praised us, and that Potter praised the players, but were using that to segue to note how poor the defending was for the opening goal, and how the players let potter down by starting so poorly (highlighting that the defence left players umarked, and didn't track their runs the way they should have).
