We absolutely must not drop the "we're developing" line because we are. We're just about the youngest sqaud in the league and we're only in our second CL campaign with this side - and it's already a thousand times better than the first.
And don't forget that our last seven games have been Real twice, three top six rivals, a London side that sees their games againat us as the biggest of the season, and Palace. We were always unlikely to come away from it unscathed, it's a horrible run of fixtures.
We lacked coherence and fight today, and that was very disappointing. And I agree that our record away at the top sides under Poch is terrible. But we're *this* close to being a truly great team and we must not lose sight of that.
I understand what your trying to get at but we are not close yet we are still some way off in belief and squad.
