Three things strike me about this game. Two I already knew (McCarthy useless at playing out, attack unlikely to score many) but the one I didn't know was a pleasant surprise: we looked alright, even good at times. The key now is that RM accepts the truth - at least one point was thrown away in that game by a simple fact (McCarthy) that we all know about and he seems to be in denial about. If he is not willing to LEARN then we go down. Full stop. If he does adapt there are hopeful signs. Even with us not scoring that should have been an excellent 0-0. Every point is vital. Come on RM - stubborn is sometimes good but NOT over this...

It very much reminded me on some of our games in the Champ last season.
Play quite well, have most of the possession and most of the chances.
Gift the opposition a goal.
Chase the game, but lack a cutting edge, throw on loads of subs and hope, but still play the same predictable, easy to defend against way, with nobody willing to step up and take responsibility in the game.

We should have been stretching them and tiring them out, not letting them score with their only shot on target. The sending off made us complacent and we thought we would win just because we had the man advantage.
I seem to recall something like that happening at Spurs about 4 or 5 years back. 1-1 and they had a man sent off, yet went on to win the game 2-1.

Very much a wasted chance to get a point or 3 on the board.
