Long way to go. Disappointing result but not as bad a performance as people are making out. Our first defeat in almost a calendar year - it was bound to come some time and playing a top quality side with half of a broken squad was probably the most appropriate time. That last 20 mins was encouraging, though. A dozen injuries or fitness issues, the lads who aren't walking wounded are tired and overworked. Just get to January in touch with whoever the leaders are - probably Liverpool - and go from there.
