Just finished re-watching the game.
From the back row of the upper tier, I had a great view, but you do miss some of the the finer points - such as was there a referee on the pitch. I can't believe it took over 92 minutes for Kante to get booked. Very poor performance from Atkinson.
It still feels incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Disappointing that this young team have not reached the final they deserve. Frustrating because the goals we conceded were goals we would not normally concede and because we were the better team overall. Without the early goal for them it could all have been very different. It threw our confidence and we looked nervy and edgy. Full credit to the players for getting back into the game and dominating for the most part. Pulling level twice against this Cheatski team is no mean feat.
I can't be angry. I'm proud of the players who did not stop trying. Eriksen was fantastic again and my, what a pass that was for Dele's goal Dembele was a colossus as usual.
I am absolutely certain the events of yesterday had an effect on the final preparations - on Poch for sure, and some of the team. Not to make excuses, we need to get more clinical and today we were up against an experienced side who knew how to make their few chances count.
We still have the opportunity to finish the season strongly and a confident win on Wednesday will set us up wonderfully for the NLD.
It's not over yet.
(Oh - and maybe we need to let Harry take a few more free kicks. That was freakily absurd today).[/
