A lot of nonsense being written here now after a loss against the league leader away from home. For those who didn't see that the 1st half was brilliantly tactical, I recommend watching it in replay. It will be shown at many coaching seminars about good collective defensive play.
Unfortunately, we depend on a good dose of luck to get something when we play against the best teams, and today we didn't have that. Instead, we had a really big brain haemorrhage, and a goalkeeper - if he had had a good day - who should have saved the first goal.
2 half was no surprise. Anyone who has played football, and who has played against a team that is significantly better and that is leading the game, knows that the risk is very high for the goals to start pouring in if you open up. Especially when you meet a team whose entire philosophy is based on inviting pressure. At the same time, you have to give it a try, then it tends to be half-hearted.
The next test is against Nottingham, and this is a game where we should have a fair chance.
