It's a game of possibilities, probabilities, luck and chance.

I reckon Garcia was pretty angry after Barnsley.

Tempo. Simple
Ince plus Greer's injury made us far more fluid added to which the rocket they got one would imagine. We were far quicker to close them down higher up the pitch.

On Tuesday.we played the team who are supposedly the worst in the League and were made to look as though we were worst in the League. Today we played the team at the top of the League who should have trounced us given Tuesday shite performance and we played them off the park for much of the game.

Tuesday: Played a team who we were expected to beast, the fans expected us to beat so didn't really get behind the team. The players probably thought that they would be able to turn up and win but it didn't work out that way.
Barnsley put numbers behind the ball and made it difficult for us by closing us down quickly and denying us room to play forward quickly.
Today: Played a team we were expected to struggle against so there was more riding on it and as a result the fans were more behind the team and helped lift their performance.
The players knew they had to work harder to try to get a result.
The opposition were expected to win so went forward to try to win the match, giving us more space to attack them ourselves allowing us more room to move the ball forward and cause them problems.
So it was against a different opposition in the way they approached the game and it was a different mentality by both players and fans that led to the different results. If only the team put in the same type of commitment and workrate against the lower teams.

Gave me a chuckle.I think playing Bridcutt and Ince together was the big difference, as well as Bruno and Lopez being on form. The rest of the players just clicked into place once these 4 were playing well.

Nah, we'll lose against Norwich, Sunderland etc, but grab wins against Arsenal, Chelsea etc.
To win a league, you must be beating ALL teams !!

Classic trap game Tuesday. Everyone while playing Barnsley was too busy thinking about Leicester.
