Two goals down vs one goal down

[HibeeHibernian4]

Why did it feel like yesterday that Hibs only started playing well and attacking with purpose when we went two goals behind?

Not just in the first half having gone 2-0 down, but also when it went 3-1 we suddenly looked like there was more intent about us and got ourselves back into the game again, only to seemingly lose the will to attack once we got it back to 3-2.

It's surely not as depressing as the fact that Celtic found another gear every time we came back to within striking distance, is it?

Your final sentence sums up how I felt in the league cup semi last year - whenever we got close they just upped their game a little and scored again.

I think there is an element of Celtic going into cruise mode at 2 goals up and turning it back on when threatened. For all the talk of how they are in crisis you can see how good a team they can be at times.
