We don't seem to learn. And, the manager is spearheading that mentality. Our players don't seem to grow. They don't seem mature. These big games and the ways we're screwed or find ways to screw up should be amazing learning curves for the players and the manager, yet we repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
Every home game "upset" stems from the same cause. Every time we lose a big game, it's a story we've heard before, witnessed before. Stamford Bridge is out now. The only awkward place we have to go is Old Trafford. That's just one game. Etihad, WHL, Anfield, etc. aren't impossible for us. OT and SB always seem to be the irreversible blockades. We beat United last season at OT. That should be a huge turning point for us. We didn't lose to them in the League. Yes, United are stronger today than they were last season. It's still in us to come out of OT with a point.
What's frustrating for me is the lack of growth, the lack of learning from past experiences. The CL is another perfect example.
