Aside from the stark, grim and harsh reality...
We've all learned loads during the last two games. We tried to go toe to toe and got beaten, (well beaten really vs Liverpool) and then destroyed by a very on song City. Yet, why not? Our GD + was so vast vs Bournemouth it made no sense to just defend and go down 1-0, 2-0... we know we can do that... so lets try to play and see where we sit. Well, we sit where we do 15th-16th best, vs 1st and 2nd the result is an almost scientific certainty, especially with no support/atmosphere and the adrenelin that goes with it.
We weren't totally shit, they are just capable of being that good.
GP will surely have made his mind up re certain players and doubtless we will see a reaction vs the Saints.
Remember, at times like this, what Leicester did to Southampton earlier this season... One piss poor game doesn't define a season, indeed the 8 or so against the top teams don't really either, it's the other 30 that count... and from where I sit we've done okay.
This. On a golden chariot with the finest wines known to humanity. Fact.
