A marked improvement in the second half. When our midfielders receive the ball and turn towards their goal rather than play it safe we look so much more threatening. Both goals came from midfield runners breaking the lines and getting people around the box. I wonder if the contrast in play is...

It's all a bit impotent isn't it.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for a cheese soufflé.

Luis Enrique teams play some gorgeous football.
