Last night was poor. It's easy to pretend all is well and PSG are "just better", but I don't think they are..
Watching the first half I was thinking "this is a bit drab, but they're nothing special". They weren't really doing much. Fine, you can say the ref wasn't great...but both teams had him. And sure, Jesse and Martial going off was hardly ideal, and you could say it was the big turning point... I dunno, it all seemed a little slow and listless throughout. Did they make us seem like that? I honestly didn't see it that way.
I worry that Ole is a great person but not a great coach. Being positive and enthusiastic when things are going well is easy - the players like it, the fans like it, the media like it. I worry how he'll do when things
aren't looking so good.. Is he the kind of guy to drag a team back up when the levels drop and the wins dry up? Is he a leader?
Don't get me wrong, he's doing a fine job and I'm every bit behind him, but last night felt like an opportunity to stamp all over Europe....and by full time I was wondering how last seasons Jose would've done in this game. I know, I'm a twat.
