I think today has killed off our title challenge.

It is going to be an interesting couple of weeks until the end of January. We have the transfer window, our next three games are all six pointers and there will be constant question marks over our manager.

It might have kick started our Championship title challenge for next season. ;)

Bournemouth are in free fall but they will still beat us. We won't beat Watford. We are screwed.

I think I am teetering somewhere on the brink of worry and resignation.

This result will break us. We are going down.

It really shouldn't. West Ham, Southampton and Newcastle all been thrashed this season by Leicester and Man. City and all responded with their best runs of the season.

Would just be another excuse and ways to stop it is always to bring in some fresh faces.

This match is like those moments in Goodfellas where the action freezes:

That was the moment we knew we were going to get relegated.
That was the moment when Jack Grealish decided he would push for a move to another club in the Summer.

On the bright side, it was more fun in the Championship than this, that's for sure.

We’ve got two good players and no tactical clue. We’re in a lot of trouble.

Way too ambitious in the Summer and it may cost us. The signings were based on ideology and not in practicality.

Much like Summer 2015 - the players aren't bad, but you can't integrate that many without a solid unit and expect to get away with it. The squad we went down with were the second worst squad in Premier League history, a few years on and look at Amavi, Gana Gueye, Veretout, Adama and Ayew now. They'd form half of a solid midtable side.

We went for the juggular with our approach, trying to uneaerth gems and refused to take any loans. Imagine another world where we'd have been more pragmatic and looked at Cahill, Phillips and Delph and loned in Wilson and Benteke instead of Engels, Nakamba, Luiz and Trezeguet. We'd have been much better off and given us a solid base to allow the younger and inexperienced players to develop from.

We really should have pushed the boat out to get Phillips. He is miles better than any of our other midfielders. Agree 100% with you, some of the new signings have potential but we don't have a solid spine in the team that fits it all together.
