That’s a fair point. We seem to have arrived at the “pushing for Europe” stage of our development a little earlier than planned. Perhaps by a season? Maybe enough to highlight that the squad, while it’s the best we’ve ever had, still hasn’t quite the maturity and depth needed to kick on to...
I am consoling myself with the thought that this result has Everton and Leeds supporters sweating buckets.
It's not all that much consolation if I'm honest. Any port in a storm.
I am feeling quite grumpy. Probably for the best that Mrs H will be tucked up in bed by the time I get home from work. Think I'll give MOTD a miss. Also think there shall be wine. Bad coping mechanism but harrumph!
Buonanotte might be the surprise element up front. He certainly likes to get up the pitch. Remember he had the ball in the net against Fulham, when he put it home from a few yards but was offside.
