All true, and I didn’t go into this CL campaign with expectations we’d go far, particularly given the draw (and I posted after it that dropping down to the Europa might actually be better for us in terms of getting CL football next year, when we’re more prepared to have a go at it). Plus, injuries are making a tough job even harder.
But I don’t think it means we should be happy with last night and allow certain standards to slip; Frank’s been in the game all his life and the players involved in the penalty melee are experienced internationals.
