Just got back, wow what a fuckin 2nd half!!!!!
De Bruyne looked knackered and at times uninterested and I was begging for Manuel to take him off and he duly obliged. BMG faded in the 2nd half as we raised our game. Someone asked me what was the difference between the 2 halves and for me it was obvious, we were more compact. We attacked as a unit and defended as a unit and compressed the space in between.
Gone was the team being strung out across 2/3rds of the pitch which forced us to play long aimless balls in the first half, we kept the spaces tight and let our football do the talking. I had a feeling tonight would turn out as it did with it being halfway to the perfect storm. Just got to hope the Chavs and the Tarquins get spanked tomorrow and everything will be just perfect. :-)
