Agreed though, we've been really good. Especially as, like the manager says, all the changes we're making and have had to make.

We didn't have any chances at Anfield, so it's not like we're ruing player X not taking his chance.
Likewise, the one chance we got against City, and it was a hard won, Gabby scored. As he did in Bilbao when it was 0-0. {I remember moaners here saying after he scored the winner in Madrid that he wouldn't have done it if it had really mattered. Oh, ye of little faith.}
Now the "fans" seem to be moaning about these relatively comfortable/boring 2-0 victories. We should be hammering them, they say.
Well I'd rather we had these 2-0 wins with lots of misses as long as we don't miss chances in the big games.
Look at that post-Dubai run 2 years ago. Loads of 5 and 6 nil victories but we couldn't take our chances against Villa.
Nothing would make me happier than winning every game from now on 2-0 with at least 3 missed chances every match, and the fans continually moaning that we're not winning well enough.
