To me at least, there seems to be a shift in mindset from some blues from enjoying performances and winning results—especially as we continue to compete for nearly everything these is to win—to an unhealthy (for them and the club) and unreasonable demand for absolute domination in every minute of every match.
If we aren’t dominating for 100% of the match, conceding not a single chance to the opposition, and putting 5 or 6 past whichever poor side turns up on the day, many seem to think we’ve been “unprofessional” or a “disgrace”.
And they trot out claims that Pep being frustrated or annoyed with the play and/or players is evidence that this is the correct perspective. Which is just plain wrong, as it is Pep’s mindset and job to never be fully happy during a season, no matter how well we played and how fully the score line reflects it. He is meant to always be asking for more and demanding perfection. The fans don’t have the same need or mandate.
I mean, we quite literally dominated the match for all but ~60 seconds (the total time for their headed chance and later goal), missing about 8 big chances to score—as it was one of those days that happen every now and then—and many on here are posting like we not only lost but were laughably amateur and let the fans down in doing so.
It’s just beyond my comprehension to see that shift and it is worrying, given this sort of arrogance and delusional thinking is the trademark of the supporters down the road.
As I said earlier in the thread, it is amazing how conceding a single goal changes the entire perception of a performance (and the players!) for some blues.
