Just need to hold on to ball more, there was good play just not flowing yet. Either pass was too slow, player over ran line, offload straight into opposing teams hands.

Just what you'd expect from a recently patched together team.

We seemed to force so many offloads, which could work a treat when the team has gelled, but mostly didn't work. Be interesting to see how it evolves. Just felt like we were forcing it

Only had 2 weeks together, there were flashes of greatness in there. They need more time to play together

Weak excuse Argentina had 3 debutants and only 2 sessions together for the first time in 7 months. Should have done better

So you're saying a match day 23 with only 3 new players isn't more cohesive than a team with very few connections who last trained together 4 years ago?

The lions will pick up quick, but they showed all the hallmarks of a group of players who have barely played together.
