Well that was a predictable bag of shite. Almost identical to the Leipzig performance, and the 1-0 and 2-1 scorelines flattered us if we're being objective and honest.
Quite frankly, with the set up in both games that was only way we going to score a goal.
I hate admitting it but if I'm being realistic if we come up with similar performances in the next 5 games we will be scoring no more than 2-3 goals, and we all know what that means, if we're lucky we might scrape a couple of draws against Burnley and Norwich but that will be about it. As for the other three we will lose by 2 or 3 goal margins.
At the moment don't have the defensive capabilities to soak up pressure for 70-75 mins by keeping clean sheets and then nick winners. Too much of our defending seems last ditch, and every time a team get a corner against us it seems like whoever the opposition are they nearly always get their head first to the ball and if we don't concede it ends up like desperate pin ball with us just about scraping it clear or the opposition miss glorious chances presented to them.
So either the players left available buck their ideas up and stop crying over something we can do nothing about, getting Kane and Sonny back or we're heading for an abrupt end to our season by the time we play West Ham and 7th or 8th spot.
