Just one of those games AFC.

A bad night in N5 against a team absolutely buzzing with confidence at the moment, a very good team also to be fair.

I would disagree with WES on his assertion that we had controlled the majority of the game, a lot of possession but invariably a desire for one pass too many. Never really opened them up.
They didn’t really set up with a team filled with confidence and superiority over the opposition either. Their tactic was mostly to throw two lines of 4 across the back and hit us on the break.
It rewarded them the result but not in the fashion of City, who sweep teams aside with invention and flair.
This was a game that could have gone either way. I heard the commentator mention that we could consider ourselves unlucky on the night.
United took their chances well by mostly playing on the back foot. The post match media nonsense about them being too good for us was utter drivel.
