Wanted to wait a day to post so the pain would subside and could give a fair assessment but today I've been riled up more than i can say.
I thought we played pretty well (not our best but more than good enough to take a deserved draw) yet almost every Pool supporter at work has really rubbed it in, that we were played off the park, that Flabinho was the king of midfield, that we were lucky it didn't finish 4 or 5 nil etc.
The most absurd one i heard was that the match clearly showed they are a top 2 team and we are lucky to be top 10. I mean, if that's the kind of game that demonstrates a gulf in quality between title challenger and "mid table mediocrity" then i feel i know zero about football anymore.
With luck we can build a solid points total until the Man City game and then look to push on for a top 6 finish at seasons end because i honestly think we are showing enough quality to aim for a Euro spot. Maybe the blue tinted glasses admittedly but i feel the days criticism is very unjust and we showed we are no longer a pushover.

They scraped through that and they know it. In my eyes we mates them performance wise. Good job done imo. Just heart breaking to lose in that manner but it was the performance that was important. It took our go to assist a player that doesn't really play for them to score in the 96th min.
