What a curious statement, we were odds on to lose at Liverpool because we played for a draw.

That’s not how football works??. Better not tell that to Diego Simeone or any other coach who has made their reputation as spoilers.

I’m pretty sure that’s how it worked when we nullified City and got a 0-0 last year.

You can rightly criticise the approach (which i do) and say we missed the opportunity to exploit a team that knows it is vulnerable defensively. You can say we were punished for our negativity and that we have no one to blame but ourselves.

But to say we were odds on to lose…is the kind of maximalist approach people (yes including myself at times) like to take when we are pissed off.
