tazmania You need these losses as well to sharpen things up, likewise the City game. This team is on a journey as is the manager, as we get better the manager will be more confident about taking risks and then consider we have signed a lot of players who all need bedding in and getting them up to speed with the system.
We lost to a worldy freekick after both teams decided they were happy for a draw, I don't think it is deeper than that. Then also consider the players we had out for that game. The Liverpool team we faced that day is very different to what they have become, it just shows how big a role confidence plays in a teams quality. They went into that match as champions and £450m worth of improvements and now are a pale shadow of that side. We were on a 49 game unbeaten streak, lost to Man Utd and it derailed our season and for a few weeks looked a shadow of the team we were. Shit like that can happen.
