The performance was no different to a handful away in europe last year, but becasue we are going through a tough time the commentary team and Pat Nevin etc decided that they were going to spin everything that way. Last year it would have been a solid job done performance in a hostile arena against a team that did nothing but defend. This year it was a dire game with everybody demonstrating poor body language and errors. I am not saying it was blinding, it wasn't but the tone was set early on when all Berbatov did was not get up quick enough from being fouled from behind and Pat nevin declared him "clearly not his usual self". To be fair his fellow presenter did say "but he's always like that".
