Yeah this was basically what I was getting at when it comes to the big games we freeze up.Our defence sure played in over desperation. Rushed when there were no need. Cleared the balls right back to feet of Liverpool players time and time again.
There was a ball little Mane went up and got it from the air over and in between Diet and Toby.
Is that Spursy? I think its about attitude. We can't play like we want to keep lunch money. We need to play like we want to take it from them. Froze again like CL final. Different managers same afraid playing. Not a matter of tactics I don't think but more in the attitude.
Why do we keep falling at the last hurdle then?
Well I think it's because we're caught in a negative feedback loop. If you bottle it 5 times in a row the 6th time becomes inevitable.
My really controversial point is that I think this has been baked into the club now after happening so many times and I'm really fearful its impacting even our best players in the grudge matches (see Kane).
If Jose can banish the bottle then he really will be a legend at this club.
