There were some real positives in 2nd half, notably Idah's all round link up play, AJ, Taylor and Yang going forward and the return of CCV and Iwata. Hopefully all of these factors gives the players a boost. Kyogo had one decent chance which he sclaffed but clear he relies on balls down the channels or flashed across goal of which there was precious few in 1st half. I'd still find a way to get him into team ahead of Maeda or Khun. What really annoyed me was the freekick on the 18 yard line at 1-1. Against us u are bricking it as you know its probably a goal. We pass it 2 yards, allow player to chatge it and and blast it straight at them. Do we not practice these things or have a clear plan. Either go for goal or slide it wide enough to avoid the wall. Thankfully it never cost us today but we need to get better at set plays, corners included.

Definitely we very seldom score from free kicks or set plays.

Thought Iwata looked pretty composed in there; would like to see him push himself creatively a bit.

Was taken off purely because we were going for a goal not because he was playing poorly.

Iwata was taken off because it was his first game after a long layoff.
The same happened with Taylor last week.
Johnston was okay to play the full match because he never had a muscle injury.

Bernabei did well recently when he played 3 games in a week but he was back out of our squad altogether after his crucial mistake last week.
