Yeah, I think that's it now. We did everything but score there, the crucial bit of quality just isn't there yet. It will be next season. Any earlier in the season and you'd say it was an encouraging performance - the way we dominated the second half - but it's just a bit too little too late. It's not 100% over, but it feels like there's a bit too much to do now.
We shouldn't really have been in a title race anyway. This has come a year too soon, we're not ready to get 80+ points yet. It should have been Arsenal and Liverpool in a title race but Liverpool fucked it completely. With that said, each time Arsenal have left the door open we've just not taken the chance. Speaks to that 5-10% quality we're just missing in the marginal moments.
It'll get there though. And we can still end this season with a League Cup and maybe the FA Cup as well. If these are bad days then I hope we keep living them.
