Had quite a bit of luck first half of season now the truth is hitting home.

Everton were clinical we were not, this has nothing to do with our manager, we opened their door and politely tickled them, they opened our door and aggressively bulldozed everything, definitely not the managers fault because we had enough opportunities.

We were beaten by a better team who scored 3 good goals. That's football. We didn't play too badly and I thought there were some promising signs that Benteke might have begun to find his mojo again. Ayew worked his socks off too. It wasn't nearly as bad as some seem to be suggesting. Some of the link up play was better than I have seen for a while.

The secret now is not to get dispirited and allow a bad patch to turn into a disaster. Every team goes through them and then comes out of them. We still have a cushion which was earned. There is no need to panic. We can earn the points we need. Scrap for the points needed for safety. It's only after that we can start to plan for next year, which I suspect will involve a few significant changes of personnel.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

gutted with our recent form.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

End of the day without Zaha were a good Champioshipship side albeit overpaid Champioship side

Agreed, the commentators and pundits on Talk Sport and particularly BT Sport were spot on and pretty much said we were awful, poor defending and clueless going forward.

There has been a lot of doom and gloom on here since around the time of the Brighton home performance, so It’s reassuring when neutral observers unanimously think we’re terrible, thus confirming it’s not just our negative perception, as some on here would have us believe.
