We had possession and passed it quite nicely but our set pieces, lack of concentration and, I think, mental weakness in the form of a lack of self-belief all contributed to it. Some things need changing slowly. Others, like working the fecking nuts off the players on the training ground don't.To be fair we were the better team for a large amount of the game, just nowhere near clinical enough.
Anyway, ref's been a bit of a homer for Bilbao, lots of free kicks they've been given with negligible contact. Almost as much of a homer as Atkinson was an awayer for Yanited against us.
Yanited will have rarely played so flatly and created so little yet come away with a 3-0 win with so little effort.
I don't dispute the reffing of certain teams in the prem.
