I'm infuriated with todays result but completely expected this. I was in a bad mood anyway after being stuck in traffic all day but that result really has added to my misery.
I don't blame AVB, I don't even really blame the players because most of them are playing a lot of football at the moment. The reason for our downfall is our lack of class outside of our first 11. First team 11 fit and healthy then were always in with a chance...but as soon as we play more games and 1 or 2 players get a knock its a pub team showing.
If this downfall continues I really want Levy to come out and make an apology to us all for continually being a risk adverse fanny and costing us CL again. It's not even the not buying strikers that gets to me...it's the loaning out of players that could help us at times like this I.e. Townsend who would offer an actual like-for-like alternate to lennon when his out - alllowing us to keep our natural width and speed on the break.
I really feel for AVB because I look at our bench and think meh - no game changers, no proper proper talent, no excitement to make things happen with the ball.
Us not making CL has such massive consequences on the marketing and sponsorship front aswell. The stadium thing will drag on until Levy cheapily jams CL for a season.
I don't think Levy is purposely doing this - but if we fail his done it again and should reconsider his position. For all of his good points he has to be judged on our results - so fingers crossed its CL this year or he should hand in his own P45.
