As a big fan of the Yakuza games I felt it was incumbent on me to play Pirate Yakuza. I was worried it would be as zany as the Like A Dragon games have been but thankfully it is more grounded than I expected. It's also a lot more piratey than I thought it would be.

Rosenior's tactic works if it's 0-0 on aggregate but when you are a goal down you can't just not try to score for nearly two thirds of the game

You can lose games, sometimes the opposition just puts one or two quality strikes into the net But when you don't take advantage in previous games a loss is a lot worse.

Passivity punished by a wonder goal. I've said it over and over with Arteta, to win things you need to take risks. We didn't against Liverpool or Forest and now we are at risk of dropping another 3 points.
