Key Player
First half forward passes
(I lost the stream after 37 minutes, so 10 minutes of the first half are missing, though I have all forward passes for the second half)
Freddie Woodman had 100 % passing accuracy in the first 37 minutes of the first half:
Ben Cabango's passing was exceptional in the first half
Joe Rodon mostly played safe passes, and most of his passes in(to) the opposition half were poor
Marc Guehi, like Cabango, played a lot of forward passes, though not with the same success as Cabango
Connor Roberts was lively in the first half. He was willing to bomb forward and make forward passes. He did it with success.
Korey Smith was totally absent when it comes to forward passing in the first half.
Matt Grimes was poor as well. Half of his passes were poor.
Jake Bidwell did some runs in(to) opposition half and made some forward passes, but he was average.
Only two passes were delivered into opposition box by these four players.
Jamal Lowe, Morgan Gibbs-White and Andre Ayew were mostly absent in the first half when it comes
to attacking opposition box and passing into it.
Together they recorded one successful pass and three succesful crosses into opposition box.
As you can see Grimes, Smith, Ayew and Lowe were not good in the first half, and Giibs-White was not much better.
No creativity, no pass and move, not many dribbles, no forward runs with the ball, no runs into (half)spaces...
They were disjointed. No surprise we were not able to create any clear cut chances.
