Why exactly has this game changed so many peoples minds about our team and AVB? What was so different about that match other than the fact that our defence leaked like a sive? The same defence which has been rock solid all season. The same defence with the leagues most clean sheets. Give them a bit of a break. City were awesomely fantastic. It was our midfield which couldn't cope and we lost posession which placed our defence under some serious pressure from some seriously quality players. Sure they could have done better. But this game only told us what we already know. We can't score. Don't let our one off bad day in defence cloud your judgements.
Thing is, I have said all season that the number of clean sheets has been slightly flattering and not telling the whole picture of our defensive 'prowess'. Plus the fact that we have played a large amount of dogshit for our fixtures so far. Start of the season there was at least three games where Lloris was in contention for Motm which indicates he saved us, and in most games teams had a couple of pretty good chances to score (take a game like Sheriff (A) where we somehow didn't concede as an extreme example of this). Difference is that the luck has run out and teams now are starting to take these chances.
