Same. Feeling like that for almost a year now. Only Benitez signing gave me a lift.
The whole season flew by and now it just feels almost "normal" to go down... But it's not normal. Or at least, it shouldn't be.
Remember Luque...
Didn't Best also take a very long time till his first goal?
Same goes for De Jong...
We just have it when a player doesn't hit the ground running he never hits it
Who's seen him at training? I'm sure David Craig or whoever is up at the training ground lurking - they would have spotted Pardew arriving and reported so. No reports..?
It's all a bit quiet from that side (SSN etc.) anyway, too quiet.
