While having this awesome run is good, lets remember that pretty much every season we put an unbeaten 16-17 match run and then one sign of crack, opens the pandora's box. Realistically, we have had 2 major targets- PL, CL and 2 smaller ones- CC, FA Cup. We are out of contention for the PL and also out of top 4 position, out of the CC... CL is a long shot and FA cup seems to be the only one that we can win. So where are we as a top football club? Mid table with realistically a chance of one cup...
However having said that, I do see this team as being very similar to the 07/08 group... they look to play for the fans and work hard. That honestly is all you can ask from the players... give your best! If only AW had opened his eyes and got some experience in the previous seasons or more importantly gave a fuck about defending. My opinion is that we shouldnt be critical if the players are giving their best but if they are acting like divas or if AW doesnt acknowledge the faults in the team (in terms of tactics/signings) then the swords need to come out again!
