Of course. But that's like saying 'if we had played well, then we would have been better and maybe won'... We all know we can do it but the point is that they're not doing it at the moment, and if they are - well its just in spurts at the end when its all about to go pear-shaped which makes it hugely frustrating. I know we showed we can do it, but why aren't we putting that much effort in from the off and why does it take an impending crisis to bring out urgency in the players?
Why the players weren't going at it harder, I've no idea. Dzeko was actually putting a lot of them to shame.
Two of my heroes, Silva & Zabba, are doing my fucking head in at the moment.
