Absolutely f.ucking gutted today. We dominated for long stretches of the game, nullified Rooney, Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs, Larsson and Saha and created some fantastic chances--at least one of which we should have buried.
But, the second we gave that free kick away I knew we were hooped. It's always the way with that shower--do feck all for 90 minutes and then pop up with a jammy goal at the death to steal 3 points. The day we develop that killer instinct is the day we become true challengers for the league.
Puzzled as hell by the Bellamy substitution and would have liked to see Sissoko come off sooner--his touch and passing were well off today and what good is he to us popping up down the flanks with the ball at his feet? He's not going to put the ball into the box out there and he's occupying space that could be filled by more attacking players.
This result's gonna hurt for some time but I'm well proud of the lads for 90% of their play today. Let's hope they take the positives away and dust themselves before Barca come to town.
