I hate to think what it would have been like on here for Ron Saunders when we struggled in the 75/76 season after promotion the previous season.

As I said in another thread, good teams will do that to you.I think that's letting us off too lightly. We made life difficult for ourselves.We did. Our passing was appalling and the players let their inferiority get to them. I'd have started Guilbert over Elmo, and I'd have brought Hourihane on when it became obvious that we were going to get fuck all from open play.

There is no need to panic. Dean needs to take stock and reset the team back to to team that beat Newcastle easily and should have won at Old Trafford. He is limited on CF options as Kodjia is unreliable and Davis is injured and not that good in any case. So he has to go with what he's got. Must aim for 10 points from next 5 games otherwise we will be in it for the season.

The players were bickering and remonstrating with each other after the 3rd went in today, and showed little application in the second half.
Playing an open game against that lot today was absolutely asking for what we got. In fact, we got off lightly. It could have been a lot more.
