The only positive to be taken from today will hopefully be the end of the ridiculous Guzan experiment.
the manner of the defeat is concerning. conceeding 4 goals in a half to a team with no points suggests we are going to struggle again. what id give for a season of mid table mediocrity
So far, we've hadWest Ham - average performance first half, poor secondEverton - abysmal from start to finishNewcastle - excellent performance for most of gameSwansea - Excellent performance for all of the gameSouthampton - average performance for half the game, dire for the other half.That, to me, looks like the definition of a team which is having an up and down time of it, and that's precisely what we're going to be like.People seem to think it's going to go away after three games. it isn't. Remember how shit we were for the entirety of last season? Do you think you get rid of shitness like that overnight with a new manager? Of course you don't.I agree with all those who say that today was a shambolic performance for at least half the match. We've just been beaten 4-1 by the bottom of the table side, who previously had zero points. There's no getting away from that.if you just accept it's going to be a season of some volatility, and take the highs when they happen, and don't dwell too much on the lows, it'll be much easier to take. We have a Lambert who knows what he wants to do, how he wants us to play, and who has a record of 100 percent proven success, an ambitious manager on the up. Last season, we had a manager with a reputation for failure, and a tendency to play the sort of football most people hate. Give the bloke a chance, and he'll get things right. Suggesting we're "certain" to go down is utterly absurd. After five games? Really? Man up, as I believe the kids would say.
