It's not the result that is causing the pessimism.
It's the manner of the defeat. Going into this season, many felt we were going to be more solid/durable/robust/whatever than our last Premier League effort.
But we've turned up at City and been ripped apart again. In pretty much exactly the same way.
If Farke isn't going to adjust his principles and if he's going to use a formation which places a huge amount of responsibility on the player at the base of the midfield, then he and Webber have to get the personnel decision spot on.
