Ha...it’s funny, after a frustrating loss I’m always pretty annoyed, but reading the match threads for those games just makes me happier again.
We were decent first half and had the chance of the game in the second. The point is, you’ll never get many chances against a Mourinho side, because he is a boring, reactive coach. So if you create one that is absolutely clear cut, you have to take it.
Conversely, they won’t create that many either, and the game is probably going to be quite boring. What you absolutely cannot do, is give them the goal that we did. Unbelievably bad, and as Neville said, so unlike us under Poch. If all of our players think they are big club, 200k a week worthy then they need to win these games, or at the very least come off the pitch proud of what they’ve done. They can’t be proud of that goal. Awful.
With that said, we’ll be fine. Games against Mourinho are always tight. He got the luck today, Alli missing and then their goal. I still think we can finish above them this year. Man for Man id still have our players. Let’s not over react.
