Out of nowhere, we conceded.Our inability to clear the danger from set pieces and throws threatens to undermine all the good work we do, game after game. But the even bigger problem — which goes hand-in-hand with defending set pieces, because it's so often how we get scored on — is our reaction to conceding.

I thought the goalkeeper's presence won us the game in the end, as I can't picture Mamardashvili keeping the ball out of our goal during Spurs' stoppage time siege. Panicking and failing to keep possession for more than five seconds when we had two extra players, just because we got scored on, was more concerning.

When we concede this season, especially if it's late in the game, we typically respond by clamming up and inviting more pressure. That's more than we could say a matter of days ago.
