nobody is taking pleasure top4, the exact opposite.
We didn't play better than them. Aside from 15 minutes at the start, we were terrible.
Kenny's starting XI, was a 4-5-1 (which we've played all season and has given us our lowest goal total in more than 10 years, i.e. failed), with Suarez playing out of position, and aplayer who hasn't scored much at all this season playing as lone striker. How can any of that be positive?! I cant' believe some of the stuff I read on here. There's even a mad poster going around saying give Kenny one more season! I can barely cope with one more GAME.
I'm sorry Raffa but I don't agree. He drops Henderson (no form) Downing (no form) brings in Bellamy, Shelvey and Flanagan. We weren't terrible that's knee Jerk. Neither was there any wave after wave of Newcastle.
I'm not saying we were great as a side nor that I feel Kenny can now salvage this, but we were capable easily of getting something out of that game and as is virtually always the case, when your down your down and that little luck evades you just to put the boot in.
Quality had nothing to do with today. We had enough. We don't understand an opponents weaknesses and how we go about our work. Under Raffa we would and did.
For those who say it doesn't matter and just see the season out that's naive. There are 5 or 6 players that are good enough. The mental damage of another 6 defeats or so will be devastating and leave those who would remain probably looking for the exit too.
Starting the summer needing 9 or 10 is relegation stuff.
