Please don’t be annoyed, but we don’t have to go. Shirley you’re used it by now after 20 months of generally getting outplayed and losing. I can’t believe how loyal our away fans are, travelling thousands of PL miles to see us outclassed every fortnight. I felt like shite watching Burnley...

Just me looking at things in a silly way a day later. More to life than football.

Funny isn’t. 28,000 of us loyally sitting there game after game, watching the burnt out pile of dross. Optimistic with pints of beer and singing in the concourses at 2.30pm, long faces in a made dash for the buses and trains at 4.25pm. You’ve got to see the funny side of it.

That’s likely.

Against Championship opposition, we were exceptional. Invariably with 2 of Stephens, Sidwell, Norwood Or Kayal providing protection for the back 4.

I agree with all that, except I watched Stephens and he did keep his defensive position, but was overloaded by three pacey CM'ers counter attacking 3 on 1. Great and good teams always leave protection back, if other CM'ers take a risk and join an attack. We're not a good team.

We’ve been slow and predictable since August 2017, with the odd exception (ManU twice at home, CP Nov’18, West Ham home and away last season, Swansea at home, Arsenal at home last season). It’s what we do in the PL, we don’t have pacey players or instinctively creative ACM’ers.
