There was nothing negative about our play today, we dominated and conceded an absolute fluke goal via a freak deflection and the usual brain fart by smalling. To come back from 2-0 down like that and get 3 is NOT fecking negative.
United, the only team that can score 4 goals and be called negative or score 3 goals and come back and win and be negative or 2 goals and come back and win and be negative. Utter bollox.
You say it as if it’s common, how many times over this season and last season have we come from 2-0 down to win. No complaints with the 4 goal games but they dropped off pretty quickly after the opening few games.
It’s called negative because the piss poor play puts us in a position (alliteration not intended lol) where we go a goal down instead of being the ones to set the pace. Once you go a goal down of course you have to play positively, how the hell are you gonna get anything out the game then?
We’re a reactive team, when the players “should” be good enough to be proactive. My reaction would not be like this if it weren’t for the fact it’s pretty much been the same script most weeks since the City loss early in the season.
Though top 4 is probably within reach, I struggle to see us finishing second, and the reality is with the investment in the club we should at the very least be playing better football, if not mounting a title challenge.
