Pragmatism is not the same as being defensive. Today was another example of that.
You can't deny the early penalty helped to create space. Getting the lead so early put the onus on City to attack and create more and more space behind. We are good when we have more space and can score. The issue is when we don't score early like that, which tends to end in bore draws.Amazing how adding a few goals to a team that is fairly solid defensively makes a massive difference in these games. Pragmatism is the only way to approach these matches in my view. That’s why Ferguson was so successful.
