Would have been good if every shot that hit the bar or the post went in. And we would have got to Wembley.

I think Ashley Barnes ran around a bit more than Tomer Hemed and got into wider spaces to get the ball more in a one winger system. Important when playing the sides that play deep defence. Strike rate comparable only inferior by the width of the post and Vicente put some key passes on a plate...
