the concern is surely about the wider context, rather than these two results

Specifically, how out of depth we were in the second half of our last season in the Prem. Since then, we've sold our best two players from that team and have not started as though we have a better plan to deal with the league this time around. We've scored two goals in our last 16 Premier League games.

You're absolutely right that it's too early to throw in the towel though, and it would be even if we had lost to Watford and Palace in our first two games. But we also don't need to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that we don't have genuine issues that need to be resolved.
