Well some will say it was not our best performance and some will moan and groan.
Just seemed to me we where playing to safe for our own good. Very little in way of shots on goal by city. We never it seemed took them on fully and we showed them too much respect. At least the last times we played them this season we took the game to them. But today we played like we were more afraid to lose than we wanted to win and would be happy with the draw. There where times I wondered who was at home?
So I have to ask did the occasion of it and what it meant to city and united get to them did city bottle it? Yes we have been basking in the last two matches and a bag full of goals but its days like today that count more when the chips are down. One would have hoped at least they would have showed more than was shown today.
Once again a lack of concentration in the final seconds brings the reality around again. That City is still blowing hot and cold and not yet what we wish them to be.
But it’s getting there even if not quick enough for some. But it’s getting there.
