I actually thought we were very good in the first half. That was exactly how I wanted us to play - given the circumstances and who he'd picked - we actually had more ball than them and it reminded me of our approach to AC Milan. Keep it tight, keep a grip of the ball as much as poss, no silly bollocks and nick a win if we can.
I hope you're right, but I think the team that got the biggest lift from that game was City, they will feel they have that winners ability and having contrived to chuck it away at the death I think will do nothing for our belief.
One has nothing to do with the other - what City get out of that game has no real bearing on what the Spurs players get from it. Of course it's a massive boost for City but they had more to lose than us - they already had the belief, hadn't lost at home all season and were top.
Our 2 goals knocked them for six and gave our players a belief they never had before or during that match. They can come away and think 'we can beat them all' - they never felt that before I think...
