I don't think it's all black and white. We are trying to play football which is all I can ask after a decade of cloggers and anti football managers. I think what's really clear is that we lack quality. Players like Elmo, Taylor, Lansbury, Hourihane etc. and probably Trez, are just championship quality, and not even good championship quality. So when playing one of the top top teams in Europe it doesn't surprise me we get spanked. It's also a total lack of squad depth. Not having a striker on the pitch is unacceptable unfortunately.
We need a lot of investment and a few years of just stabilising before getting too critical.
I still think we can stay up. We are fighting for the 17th which is what most fans expected, but it's rather annoying to see us playing without a striker, so hopefully that stuff is sorted sooner rather than later.
