We'll never win the league if the team think that was a pressure game.
Apart from against Villa when we just HAD to win and did late on.
Today was massively frustrating but the pressure thing doesn't work as a reason today IMO. We didn't fall apart under pressure, it was an overall decent performance. Their goal was just plain bad luck. We were met with incompetent refereeing, a good defensive 11 men behind the ball performance, an outstanding goalkeeping display and yes, some incompetence from us up front but overall I can't fault our effort or performance too much. Just one of those days. It happens. If anything there's more pressure on us to get a result when our rivals win and we have to follow suit to keep pace.
One of the most frustrating games I've been to but the effort was there today, sometimes it just doesn't happen and it didn't.
Oh, i never meant it as an excuse at all, i meant was with knowing our rivals lost it became even more important to win that game, maybe once it was 1-1 could have put a lil pressure on us.
