Ive not yet seen this match as I was away but it does seem we have a bad problem of not being able to kill our opponents off and kill the game. 2 - 0 in front is always a dodgy position even for the very best teams but most of them are able to move on and get more goals or at least shut up shop and stifle thir opponents; we do neither. Is it over confidence? Is it arrogance? Is it lazyness? I think its a bit of each. Too many times we've seen players stop working and running for the team and our opponents gain a bit of hope, score and then, at 2 - 1 its they who have the impetus and desire to go on and get an equalizer and then a winner. Attitude is vital and having the right attitude most vital of all and too many of our players on too many occassions lack it. We have to finish top 4, in fact to convince the doubters we're going the right way, we need to finish top 3; anything less will be a grave disappointment. On top of that is the Cup final; we have to get everything right and everybody has to committ themselves 100% for every minute or City will bury us and put us back months if not years.
