Not sure why you are suggesting I predicted it based off last seasons form. I didn’t predict it beforehand like some kind of psychic, I predicted we would see similar performances and results regularly after the atrocious Norwich and wolves games because I didn’t see them as one off freak games as some suggested. there was a worrying trend in our play around those games and has been for months now. It’s the same thing every game, including the games we’ve won with us struggling with the likes of Southampton villa and Chelsea at home and Chelsea aside none of these are top teams.
There’s zero pace in the team, zero tempo and incredibly despite the players we have in the side little creativity. all you have to do is be reasonably organised and double up on the space sterling occupies and you make the game extremely tough for us. Walking out the ground today I suggested to a mate Newcastle barely had to do anything to get a point from that and the geordies overhearing me agreed. they put in a bog standard performance yet looked comfortable against the champions for large periods of the match that’s not right. Injuries are a cop-out. we’ve got 4 players sidelined, its hardly a crisis, a squad should be able to cope with that and it speaks volumes that we seemingly can’t.
