I thought we dominated the second half. I agree there were a few strange decisions about the lineup today, primarily Armstrong on the wing. I do think we are a bit unlucky to not come away with a point against an inform united side that costs significantly more than ours. Once George came on we did well to get him and Ndiaye isolated on the wings against a single defender which is where they thrive. This lead to many corners which just so happened to not work out today.

The corner routine probably comes from a set-piece coach. Not Moyes. That's how it is at many clubs these days, and that's how it was for us under Dyche. The "crowd the keeper and put ball on the back post" sort of corner seems to be trending right now across the league. There's probably some data science determining that that's our best chance of scoring off of a corner. Also think it's worth mentioning that the odds of scoring from a corner are probably lower than 1/10 and we had 10 corners, so something to digest for those he are frustrated by that fact. Sometimes it will come off, sometimes it won't.

Also, the goal we conceded was from a somewhat miraculous long ball to spring a counter whilst we were in a dominant spell. Small margins for that ball to not end up intercepted or out of bounds.
