Totally agree against the top sides fine lines make all the difference. They were pretty much full strength today and our squad is on the ropes in terms of numbers and fitness and Unai chose a setup to prioritise not losing, at half time it was looking a good decision but first goals are so so often decisive. While I think we could have done more to stop Sarr going through it’s a hell of a cross.
After that we fell apart, we’ve seen it before from this team and there is a bit of naivety I think. They want it so much… for us as fans for the club, for themselves…when we go behind it can lead to gaps and errors. Which meant we were always between a rock and a hard place.
It’s another really painful one to take especially so soon after the Utd game. Be we are still right in the thick of this race and it’s going to go right to the end.
