Stop kidding yourself mate. We've been like this all season, so stop acting like we nearly pulled off a masterful performance by grabbing an equaliser.
Our quality of football is poor - there's no ifs or buts about it. People act like I'm happy we play shit football, I'M FUCKING GUTTED mate, fed up of watching tripe game after game. It wasn't nowhere near classic counter attacking football, their keeper didn't have to make ONE save? And lets be honest, they're not THAT great an outfit.
I know you post on here all the time, and your a respected poster, but cmon man, take the rose-tinters off. I was actually counting the amount of passes we could make tonight, and apart from a few ocassions, we lost the ball after 2, 3 passes. As soon as we're pressed, we lose possession or hoof it. Its the truth. If it was a one-off, I'd think fair enough, but its week after week after week.
***deep breff***
Maybe you're confusing me with someone else. I watched the game through my fucking fingers and I bet everybody was the same. But the final whistle blew and it was 1-0.
Rose-tinters? All you need to do is fire up the post history mate, and you'll see if there are any fucking rose-tinters.
You're hallucinating if you think I said we nearly pulled off a masterful performance. We had a good ref, a world class keeper, and some poor quality from Atletico.
The fact is it's a UEFA Cup semi final, and that's precious, and we're stil in it. It doesn't matter if it's fucking Fortuna Sittard we're playing or if they're the best side in the world - we're still in it. Right? Full stop. So is it worth preaching about the quality of the football? For me, all that matters on this one occasion is that we're still in it.
Anfield has been a completely different story in the last 2 rounds, and I'm praying we stuff them in the 2nd leg.
Feel free to go and find out if I've been wearing rose-tinted glasses for the whole season. Christ, someone told me they couldn't bear to read my posts the other weak because they were so negative.
