The wheels haven't come off at all. Its a new season. We've lost one game.

This.

We're qualifying for Europe again at least. I think the CL.

Calm down!!!!!!!!
Errr, I think we blew that with our non performance at Man U in May.
It might be a long time till we are in that position again.

The wheels have come off.
His errors of judgment are now compounding all of the other problems.
Another selection mess with Mings at RCB and Pau again showing that unless he is protected to the extent that his defensive duties are limited he is a liability.
We have now seen enough to tell us the outlay on Onana and Maatsen has been a waste of money, neither good enough for a team that wants to be pushing for CL places.
He addressed Cash deficiency at RB by playing Konsa there but that has now been abandoned.
The hope that Marlon would step up is diminished by the fact that he seems almost disinterested.
Rogers looks like the adulation has got to him but his form has been a worry for some time now.
Every time he takes Mcginn off, our performances seem to get worse not better.
I have no idea what styke of play we are striving for, all I am seeing is ponderous in defence,  slow and blunt in offence.
It’s obvious that there are serious problems, it looks like we need a major reset.
But apart from that everything is A ok

But how are we going to get CL with Watkins as our main striker? 😉

Others should chip in. If we had a better one it'd be easier of course.

If it wasn't for his sunny disposition this could be considered a bad day.

You mean we have a 0 percent win record?

He is right, in this instance. The two results do not mean the wheels have fallen off.

Nonetheless, UE's  comnents seem to indicate that things will not be clear until the transfer window closes. We don't know who the playing staff will be,

Let's be clear; we have been hobbled by the various FFP/PSR and other acronym processes.
