Differences between 1st and 2nd halves . .

1st half,
First to the second balls, high pressing, full backs pushed on, mixed up long ball and short stuff, won most of the aerial duels.

2nd half,
Second to the second balls, sat off, no pressing, full backs stayed deep, lots of long ball, couldn't win the high balls from set pieces. Pritchard and Wildschut off, Murphys on.

Is this a tactic, or are we just not fit enough to play the high pressing game so change to sitting back and invite them on?
