I don't think getting thrashed by Man City is 'par'

they only won by four or more goals on four occasions last season. And we didn't even make them play particularly well, it was mostly self-inflicted by being very open, combined with some terrible individual defending.

Everyone knew we would probably lose these two games, and that it ultimately doesn't mean much. But surely fans are still entitled to voice some dissatisfaction after such a limp 5-0 defeat? Our 12th defeat in a row at this level.
