We can talk about the confidence gain from that last minute equalizer against Chelsea and we can take credit for how we performed at the Etihad after going down to 10 men. Encouraging performances? Sure.
But today that won't be enough. We HAVE to win games like these, I'm more nervous now than I was before our last 2 games. Not because I don't think we'll win, I'm quite confident in our chances today, but also very aware of the importance of not feckin' up. It's not about "encouraging performances" now, it's about results.
