Seriously miffed that we are showing no improvement...
True Mike and as you said, the only difference yesterday was that our mistakes and form didn't go punished as they were so ruthlessly at the start of the season.
For me, yesterday didn't just look like nervousness. There was an alarming lack of spirit and real fight especially in the first half.
We did perk up a little in the second but still could've easily shipped 3 goals.
The lads were saying on the video that, for a number of set pieces we had all 11 players back defending. Slav HAS to see this and get on top of it DURING the game. Not at half time or full time.
2 away games now is probably a good thing for us and I'm hoping we put in shifts like we did against Liverpool, Tottenham and Man U.
Next home game is Man U and I really hope that we do not see 1 up front again. If we do, then imo this will provide more ammunition to the argument that Slav is just not "getting it".
That said..... we've had a habit under Slav of "switching on" against the big clubs (Arsenal this season a major exception) so I still fancy us turning in a performance against the Mancs.
