I suppose being optimistic, the only way for this once mighty club is up! Rafa definately purchased some duds with the cash he had and the yanks are making the pace a depressing place to be around. We need to get sold urgently and then hopefully that will lift the spirits.
We dearly missed Cole on the weekend and that changed our formation quite a bit as well as Masch saying he's not playing which I think is a disgrace. Unfortunately when we miss one or two players from our best 11 then we struggle because we lack quality in our depth and that's where we have come undone.
Things will improve and hopefully soon, so everyone should be realistic and not expect to win games against the new BIG 4, Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal and Man City but hope we do play reasonably against these teams and with a bit of heart and salvage a point. take on the other games and come away with resluts to lift the spirits.
I truly believe once the sale happens things will improve and for now I'm enduring the heart ache and hoping for improvement in the near future.
