Great article and encouraging. So often we have played 'better', created more and lost. I wasn't for firing Sheehan but this looks like a good appointment in Matos. We still need to be better in the final third to keep this going but the meaningful pressing and counter press is definitely a new string to our bow. Vitor's method and character are rubbing off on the squad.
