We played our absolutely normal home tactics, with Sara more forward (as loads of people have been crying out for), and didn't score because Leeds are a good team with the 2nd best defence in the league and were clearly there for a 0-0 or to steal a goal on the break. Everything was the same as tactics that have worked regularly at home.
Sara being in the Barnes role meant he barely got the ball, so we were less creative overall, but Leeds had a lot to do with that.
The players gave their all first half, it was absolutely boiling and they ran out of steam. Sarge was dead by 45 minutes, Rowe was dead by 30 minutes, Sainz ran more than I've ever seen him and by the time the subs came on we had lost all attacking threat. Standard, because we have a lower champ/league one subs bench.
