you you don't necessarily get that that far in front of someone as such you know unless you're you're fighting against someone who weighs about 30 stone or something trying to run but when you're playing against professional players and they're already running
And they're literally in line with you when you suddenly realise, shit, you've lost that, you know, half a second, that second start power to chase them.
And I think if you look at the clip, you just say that...
whether or not doubt he didn't realize it was coming to him or whether or not he didn't realize, you know, that it was going to come as fast as it did, but he just, he looked switched off.
And I think that was the, that was a divisive moment where it opened us up.
And then, yeah, you know, I just, it's mad to say with a team like Portsmouth, but yeah,
The first ball, the second ball, the third ball, they were on it.
They were on it all the time.
Bit of a controversial bit for you, I suppose.
And we'll come to it in a sec.
But I mean, I think the high press failed on us.
We just couldn't, they just, we were trying to keep a high press.
And I think what they did is they found a diagonal ball.
So literally they just found that if they stick it over, you know, stick the ball over diagonally, it was opening this up every fucking time.
And that rolls into the question is that I think for whatever reason, whether or not Femi weren't on the money or it just wasn't, but that right hand side was just fucking, they were just opening us up massively.
I just think they thought there was going to be a free kick.
Maybe.
And it didn't.
And he played on.
And, yeah, yeah.
