we thought we might lose, fine. that doesn't mean just handing it to them as we did. bayern were excellent in the first half and we offered no resistance, just the usual shite defending and timid approach. the fact we started the second half better shows that we had it in us.
I'm more inclined to get upset about games like Blackburn where we had 11 players out there who were clearly better than the Blackburn players and thought they could coast through the game and somehow win. That's not good enough. Last night I think we were doing our best, we were just playing a much better side.

All season we've been lamenting how poor our squad is, we get dicked on by one of the best teams in Europe and suddenly it's because we weren't making enough effort.
We lacked quality, not effort. There were patches of the game where we put pressure on them but in truth Bayern never got out of 2nd gear and easily stepped it up to restore their 2 goal cushion.
