They were better than us at just about everything in the first half. They absolutely dominated. Could easily have scored more than the one they did score. Obviously difficult to know how much of that was them being good at stuff or us being bad at stuff. But they were all kinds of better than us at least, at just about everything. It didn't look like two teams struggling for form and with injuries. It looked like one team being completely outclassed by the other.
And, again, we just couldn't attack, couldn't progress the ball, couldn't sustain possession. That's not all on a Saudi Sportswashing Machine team being good at defending imo. We've seen that a lot this season.
When we got at them in the second half we could see that they too were vulnerable defensively.
They repelled us well in the first half and dominated possession. Then got back in a deep low block making it hard to penetrate them. They had so many corners and pressure and couldn't convert. Personally don't think they were very good in attack.
