As long as it galvanises the team, I wouldn't be bothered if we got mauled 7-0 by Tranmere. Hopefully we can pinpoint why we're playing so badly and remedy it.
First priority though has to be the Premiership. If we retain it, we shouldn't be in a 'group of death' next year.
Fucking right I'm bothered about it. People seem to forget that we've only won 2 trophies since 76, not exactly a fucking dynasty is it?
Mancini and the players treated last night as some shitty reserve game down at Hyde whilst charging £22.50 for the privilege.
It may be a blessing in disguise but it was the worst performance since forest at home in FACup. That wasn't exactly a blessing was it cos we missed out on the Champions League.
What won us the league last season was playing the same starting 11 and using the same tactics for 6 consecutive games. We're only 8 games in and he makes at least 3 changes each match.
The time is now to sort this shit out and start performing like champions
Winning form breeds confidence amongst the group and lifts the spirits of everyone around the club.
I never buy this spiel about it being a cup match and it doesn't matter.
Of course the premiership is always what I want most for the side but that doesn't mean I can just brush aside an inept exit from Yaya's "fortress."
If you think this loss will not be felt by all and sundry including the eleven that start on Saturday then you are sadly mistaken , it should hurt them all like buggery and while you cannot dwell on it we have to learn from it otherwise we are easy meat for Fulham and the slide continues.
