Am I the only one who thinks if it wasn't for poor referee decisions that we actually did enough to win the game yesterday?
Let us not forget who it was we were playing, people are saying they were poor but I think it was the way we played that made them look that way. At the start of the game we would of all welcomed a point.
I will concede that yes we could and should of played better, if we could emulate the last 20 mins to the full 90 in all our games then we are in Europe.
Fantastic result, let's hope it has restored some self belief back into our players.

Good post Grumpy. Funnily enough I posted before the game saying 1-1 or we would win! Turns out I was pretty much spot on. Anyone can check the posts if they feel like it. It was Luck more than anything.
But I certainly believe people get carried away. People have been getting overly carried away lately. We are better than we have been before the Utd game. People we're comparing us to what we were like under Martinez. Which amazes me.
We had a good start to the season. Koeman made some good decisions yesterday. Competition for places looks to be good now. Which we will need everyone with the amount of fixtures coming up.

The thing is it is impossible to have the intensity and energy we showed in the last 20 minutes for the whole game, slight exaggeration but it would be the equivalent of a triathlon every week. Koeman is a very good coach and he has the staff taking shape that also like and follow his methods. We will be a very good consistent side.
