So if we do manage to avoid the drop, it will be through sheer grit and determination alone, and not premier league class, because we simply don't have it. Not a single player in blue and white was anywhere near PL standard yesterday. Our defence without Schindler was shown up for what it is. I know that change was enforced, but it shows to me we don't have squad depth to rotate any of our defenders. Yes, there was a definite foul before the first. But that doesn't excuse the appalling defending of the resulting corner. And yes, the second was definitely offside. Ponderous at best going forward. No cutting edge. Did their keeper actually make a save, even when they were playing with 10. I really fear the next couple of games, and that will be reflected in next weeks prediction league, which will have a hint of nostalgia about it for me. At least we won't be playing in brown and yellow checker board shirts I suppose!
