It must be instructions from the bench

Wagner thinks we’re good at containing and playing on the break, when clearly we aren’t.

There’s a very long list of where that’s gone wrong, but I think the one that really sticks in my mind as the perfect example is Watford at home. Smashing them, sit back, 2-2, then we go for them again and win 4-2.

We’re so much better when we are defending in the oppositions half, pressing and trying to win the ball back, than when we sit back and defend 20 - 40 yards from our goal, trying to contain the opposition.
