It was if Emery and his players couldn’t be arsed to adapt their tactics in light of those earlier defeats, the way you learned from your 5-2 thrashing at the Etihad to beat City yesterday. How is that not an attitude problem?
I still can’t understand Villa’s attitude to the semi final. They’d been knocked out of the Champions League *11* days prior and should have treated the cup as their last shot at silverware this season. They didn’t rest first teamers either so you can’t claim they were focused on the league...
Nice to hear from someone close to the man himself!
Also, extrapolating from NSC’s pre season poll, most of us didn’t expect European qualification this season.
I hope the truth about why Barco didn’t make it here comes out at some point because it’s incredible how many people consider his story an indictment of our transfer policy. Not all signings come good, it’s not rocket science :shrug:
