Huddersfield huffed and puffed and I think that's the best they could come up with while we were at our mediocre worst. I always envied Ferguson for managing to get those 1-0 wins, especially on the back of some heavy defeat. With the defence leaking all those goals last year, and to see the team concede only 3 times (one of which was that freak goal against Leicester), this is nothing short of a miracle. It must be a while since I felt so assured of the defence and except for one heart in the mouth moment in the game, I felt confident in our ability to defend a 1 goal lead. That is some achievement by Jürgen!
I guess the frustration yesterday would have been the inability to score more goals (Bobby's miss at the end, Salah's miss after a wonderful take) and to put the game to bed. It looked like a combination of complacence and fatigue.
With both the teams similarly placed in the CL, City plays Spurs, Southampton, United and West Ham in the league while we play Cardiff, Arsenal, Fulham and Watford. And, we have a full week's rest before the Arsenal game. I expect City to drop some points.
We are light years away from our best. But, we are still unbeaten and joint top, which is very exciting.
