It's complacency. I guess everyone, including the players and the manager, thought we had the 3 points in the bag when we went 1 goal up. Rafa substituted Torres and Reira. We stopped attacking. The 2 "new" clowns made all the silly mistakes. Lucas gave away unnecessary free kicks by making school-boy type of challenges. Benayoun didn't need to make the tackle that resulted in a free kick just outside the box. That free kick gave Everton the equalising goal.
Why didn't we keep attacking till the final whistle? Why did Rafa make those changes when we were only 1 goal up against a team that has not lost a game in the last 7? Why did we stop attacking? Why Lucas and not Mascherano if we were going to defend our slim goal advantage?
And now, we are left to kick ourselves for conceding a silly goal that may cost us the title in May. Man United will not drop many points at home. We are clearly the underdogs now and it is all our own doing.
It is heart breaking. The draw against Stoke may turn out to be the sucker punch that will cost us the title. We can only pray that Man United drop some points from now till May whilst we keep up the pressure in all the remaining games by ensuring we earn ourselves the 3 points.
It's not looking good.....
