We are in the same scenario as last season being 2-1 up at half-time, we need to manage this game out & learn lessons !

Doing the correct, calm, sensible things in the split second heat of the moment often proves to be our downfall. You just cant teach it, it's inherent in people.

We're under pressure in that last moment because twice either fullback doesn't do the smart thing, play the percentages, play for territory and get it down the other end of the pitch and regroup. Sanchez is probably reluctant because he has no one really ahead of him to hit a ball down the channel to, do it anyway and bollock someone if needs be, don't get caught on the ball. Rose obviously panics about a possibly handball and his default is always to charge forward and take the game to them, it should have just been smashed over the top down the line.

It's down to individuals to manage the pressure and emotion and keep a clear head better.

It is, but it’s also about leaders giving those players a bollocking when they do it.

It’s just so frustrating because it’s given them something to cling on to. Especially as I can see them making changes second half.

Nothing less then a win will do now, from a 2-0 position and looking comfortable any kind of dropped points will be unbearable

Can see it happening though. They will step up their game, get an earlyish goal and we will be panicking at every turn. 4-2 to those ****s!!???

We HAVE to score in the second half because there’s no way the score remains as it is, both defences are vulnerable at the back to say the least, we have to take our chances when they come

Think i'd sub Sanchez for either Skipp or Lo Celso with Sissoko at RB. Either that or make 2 subs and bring Aurier on.
