More than merited that point yesterday. I think if Neto doesn't get injured we go on and win it, they were properly hanging on and barely got out of their own half.
No value in doing the penalty decision to death, we know it's a howler, we know it shouldn't happen, it does. It isn't something we can change and PGMOL evidently still have their collective heads in the sand.
After a good run of games this wasn't Bouba's best outing and for the second game in a row Doyle made a real difference when he came on. Always looks for the progressive pass and strikes the ball so nicely when he does.
Some familiar failings - if Semedo could even vaguely cross then we have a tap in second half, Cunha has to add goals to all the other good stuff, Sa is always liable to have one of those moments - but that's where the squad is. The encouraging thing is that we are playing some good football, don't get overawed against the better teams, there's plenty of fight and intensity there and we are very unlikely to be in any serious relegation trouble. Which I think we'd all have taken a month ago, when we'd lost 4 out of 6, just been knocked out of the cup by a Championship team and had the European champions up next.
