It is a rounded and thoughtful piece

No melodrama, no axes to grind, but a considered assessment of how the performance on Saturday fits in to the bigger picture.

There is absoutely nothing wrong whatsoever with being 15th in the Premier League. Nothing. But the evidence of the general malaise is all too clear. This is a desperately hamstrung, timid side entirely lacking spark, drive and purpose.
