Well, that’s that for the title, we’ve shown we’re not ready yet. Top four is our level this year.
In truth we were alright for much of the match, but chucking away that two goal lead was absurd. The late equaliser, well, it was crap, but we shouldn’t have even been in that situation. The problem was the start of the second half. We needed to stay solid for 10 or 15 minutes while they came at us, which teams always do when they’re losing at half time. See out that spell and we win the game. Instead it goes back in the mix.
De Gea had a mare. What a time to flub a simple ball. Maguire and Lindelof looked painfully exposed against a bit of pace. The whole team looked nervous second half, but who wouldn’t be with those guys behind?
Midfield and attack were decent. Three goals should be enough to win a game however you look at it. Bruno’s amazing goal feels overshadowed.
Gutted really.
