The thing is, the mood music is changing all the time. We are now being massaged and conditioned to think top four will be a remarkable achievement.
We have hired in possibly the most expensive manager in the world to direct one of the most expensively assembled squads. The least I expect is a dogfight in the title race, which I still hope to see, not some unseemly scrabble for CL qualification and a promise of jam tomorrow. I also expect to see players sweating blood for the shirt. If that's being entitled then fcuk it, I'm guilty.
Pretty much where I am right now too. I think it's unforgivable to lose a game against your nearest rival for the title and in the manner we did; another sucker punch created by our own ineptitude right at the start of the game....mentality has been mentioned a lot and you can see why.
I've seen us play much better against much better Liverpool teams
I've seen us play much better with vastly inferior squads......we can all over intellectualise how to play the game but at the end of the day it's about taking the players you have, forging a team, and winning games.
