Everybody knows we're not the finished article, so we can't get all hysterical when we get a result as a consequence of not being the finished article.
The positive is that we would have lost that game last season, and that we have 4 points from two fixtures where we got 1 last season.
We can only hope that the penalty miss can be a springboard for something more positive, namely Pogba wanting to repay us and his team-mates for his miss, and that by his manager and team rallying around him, he steps up for us.
First half was a level of control I've not seen from us in a long time away from home. Second half the biggest worry was how a tactic as simple as putting a modern day Stuart Ripley (good player, but a bit dated for the modern game) on really but us under the cosh due to our left-backs inability to deal with him.
We're progressing slowly, and things like tonight are all part of the process.
