It's largely happened.
Today, as in many games, their performance was on par with an Aston Villa or Sunderland but the opposition are terrified of killing them off, they find themselves 3 v 2 on the edge of the rags' box & their legs turn to jelly. Meanwhile the rags expect the opposition to cave in & they usually do. I was particularly watching Muamba in this game, he worked hard & stopped attacks but as soon as he got the ball, you could see the shit rolling down his leg, he'd just kick the ball in whatever direction he was facing even if nobody was within 20 yards of him. That fear factor & rag myth is being perpetuated even on here by City fans, excpecting to lose the Semi v a very average Utd team, when we've beaten much better sides in the past with very average City teams.
Until that bullshit finally wears off, they'll always be hard to beat.
Correct - they´ve been shit all season not because they haven´t hit form but because they´re not very good and everyone else bar Chelski don´t know how to win
