What’s a real concern is that so many people don’t see this coming. We give away far too many good chances and simply don’t create them. Things like this are going to happen and we are going to struggle until our defending and chance creation improves, regardless of whether De Gea heroics, unjust results and cup runs mask that in the short term.
Our performances have been dreadful for the most part this entire year. Why is there any level of shock that we’ve again conceded good chances and not scored ourselves?
