One of the things I noticed yesterday is in the first half especially we made alot of nervous mistakes. Many passes were sloppy, snatched at, or simply the wrong pass altogether. It happened over and over again as we struggled to even get out of our own box.
It was the most nervous performance Ive seen in years (other than the CL final). It says to me we have lost some of our big game cool, since Poch's team has been dismantled. Alli, Dembele, Eriksen, Rose and Trippier to a lesser extent have alot of experience in huge games both domestic and european.
This team needs to grow up fast and deal with the pressure of these games and produce a good performance. I thought we were slihghtly in awe of Liverpool and gave them too much respect.
Also, we need to start blooding Bale into premier league games. Yes Bergwijn and Moura run around alot. But Gareth is a big game player. Those mis placed passes and shots would not happen with Bale. Hes too experienced and his technique to good.
