How are we consistently so bad in the second half of games? It may be a tiredness issue but it seems to be more mentality.

The number of games where we have been good or not terrible in the first half but end up being a team that barely resembles a football team in the second half is ridiculous.

Note: Yes I hope this thread makes me look foolish by the end of the match but I still think this is worryingly recurrent.
 
Wasn't it the other way around before, we played awful in the first half and always had some great performance in the second, including constant praise of ETH's subs? Wonder when it switched
 
In this game, it is easy to explain. DDG created the best framework for WH to excel; countering with minimal risk since they have already scored.

We had 6 shots in the first half and didn't hit the target once. We "dominated" the first half but were never going to score.
 
I would maybe attribute our terrible performances in second halves to players being tired from having to play Sheriff, Omonia and pointless League Cup games during fixture congestion but been already told it has nothing to do with it.

We were however awful all game long today, and it will probably be the case in our remaining games as well as we are completely out of gas.
 
Looked pretty sharp until the goal, but increasingly awful from that point on.

There's nothing left in the tank, is there? When you struggle to create goalscoring chances even at your best, then being off it is disastrous.

I can't wait for this season to be over tbh. Things aren't going to improve now until next season.
