Of course we are not in the same universe as Liverpool or Man City

And of course I don’t expect us to win every game with a depleted side.

But today that was a game we were well capable of getting something from and should/would have had we been a bit less naive/timid in the early stages and not removed our biggest attacking threat in the second half.

I still think we are doing ok. All is not lost by all means but we have let opportunities pass us by in the last couple of games by not really being at it in games where we could have won points. That’s frustrating and I make no apologies for being frustrated by it.
