When the scoreline tells a false story

IF ever there was a game that was not reflected by the final score, then our clash with United was it.

We didn’t help ourselves with some spectacularly poor finishing, but we not only gave them a game but looked by far the better team in parts. I’m not a sore loser but do United really need the help that they get from officials?

AVB demonstrated that not only does he have a wealth of ideas in his locker, but that he is unfazed when it comes to substituting big names. I am not going to jump on the Lampard bashing bandwagon as that particular carriage is well over-packed already. Our style of game is changing as it should and as with any new style, players take time to adapt. I believe Lampard will again make headlines for all the right reasons this season.
