The players need to forget this quickly.

Concerned about how today will affect the confidence of our players. Think, despite the Arsenal cup farce, we had a feeling of relative invincibility at home and today's result has come at the worst possible time. Kick in the teeth to lose like that but we need to forget it quickly and focus on Tuesday.

Don't think this will affect us one little bit for Tuesday.

 

It's not as if we we're completely outclassed today.

Agree. We played well enough, just could'nt put the fecin ball in the net...grrrrrrrrr

 

Ahem, anyway, Rafa will be sure to get the team into their 'European' mindset. The jammy scum result will spur us on, if anything.

It wont affect the players at all imo. I'm not really concerned about them on tuesday night. I'm f***ing gutted though, sick of losing to those manc b******s and we probably gave them the title today too

I had a strange feelin watching this game both teams had an eye on midweek. It wasn't as passionate as usual. To be honest the way we played today would have suited us better against Barca.
