I have a problem figuring how we were both too hasty and not moving the ball quickly enough - if the instructions were that we should take things more slowly while quickening up our passing perhaps the sort of performance we saw last night becomes more understandable.
Although Joe Allen put in his usual wholly committed performance, he has been on the bench for a Stoke side struggling at the bottom of the Championship this season and I thought he was that little bit later closing down opponents last night.
