It's to do with belief, I think.

We have a great team ethic and mentality but not a winners' mentality.

That was never more evident than the game against Liverpool. We should have been out of sight but, with each missed chance, you could almost see the confidence being replaced by doubt. And, when players start to doubt, they play it safe, pass backwards, sit deeper, concede possession...and the other team can sense that and, if they're any good, exploit it.

I agree with Tut, too-we don't have enough pace in the defence or midfield to deal with opposition pace. Hopefully it's something we'll address in the next couple of windows.
