Everything you said, AND we just need to increase the tempo going forward. The way to score goals, esp against a low block, is to get there first and make them face their own net. Slow walking the ball up the field allows teams to drop back and shuffle left and right all game. It's not a hard concept, but its something we just do not do with nearly enough regulaity.

It's not easy but it is simple. That's a classic one liner and it has a lot of truth in it. I think it works well here with what you've said.
As a coach, I would encourage my players to play faster than the defenders can defend...make them react to you not the other way round.
