But you've been pretty woeful all year and this match just highlighted all the inherent problems within the club/squad atm. We should not be losing 3-1 to Villa at home, with our only goal coming from a penalty. We should not be so lacking in ambition, creativity and drive that we fail to really cut open a packed defense more than twice in a game. We should not be selfish enough to take pot shots rather than trying to work the ball. We should not be bringing on our hungry striker, desperate to prove himself but with a fragile sense of confidence, and playing him out of position. We should not be so devoid of passion that we allow ourselves to slip not into a state of overconfidence but one utter lethargy. We should not be leaving the ground in droves because our team is losing and we want to get home for tea 10 minutes earlier. We should not be looking at teams like Fulham and Villa, shrugging and hoping for a lucky goal or one from a set piece. We should not be in very real danger of falling outside of the top 4.
Very little new happened today and it's not like that defeat to Wolves last year where you wondered how we can possible be that bad. What did happen was all these niggling little problems we've had all year all rose to the surface at the same time and made us look like fools.
