Was looking forward to seeing if Mikel had purged the club of the losers mentality. When Wiltshire or Ramsey or Ozil etc were on the attack, they would take the cheap dive and stop the move rather than continue the move to it's ultimate conclusion and hopefully a goal. They never had that real belief in their own ability and that of their team mates to see where it led.
You see our players on plenty of occasion try and stay on their feet to complete the move.
Today, they were surrounding the referee and badgering him because they didn't believe they could win on their own merit. Scrubbing the penalty spot, Odegard trying to manufacturing the penalty.
with more and better signings they will improve, but they don't and won't have that killer mentality that we had to win the game. They ended up winding up each other with their collective indignation to the point that they lost their discipline. Barmy, cos they deserved to win that.
Disapointed for Mikel, but ultimately no suprise.
