As I was away for the game, I just watched the full game and was rather surprised that the impression given by some of the media, that Wigan had us on the back foot for 15 minutes was a bit over-dramatic. Yes, they had a bit more of the ball but didn't really have any chances other than the one they score from. I really got the impression we were really under the cosh for 15 minutes, but I didn't see it that way.

I think we were second best for 15-20 minutes but not under the cosh.

I think with the benefit of knowing we win the game you can view it differently, but live at 1-1 with their crowd awake, it felt like we were crumbling.

Possibly, I was just surprised that it wasn't as bad as I expected, with very little threat on the goal which is what is most important.

Which explains why the views of games differ between those who ring RH and start off “ I didn’t see the game Burnsy, but…” and those who did. Even on TV you don’t get as full a view of what is happening as those at the game as you don’t see as much of what is happening away from the ball.

I’d like to have been at the Chelsea v Man City game last night. reading the reports it was as interesting off the ball with the way pep changes things.
he called Haaland over after 90 seconds to change something. Haaland didn’t touch the ball in the first 20 minutes!!!

I can’t believe that hasn’t made it onto the highlights.
