I don't feel better, I just feel relatively relaxed about most defeats these days.  It's just very tedious when reality gets ignored in favour of made-up stuff like our opponents being shite, or something. 

 

The table position doesn't even mean that much when it's so tight and our immediate competitors are also stuttering. The teams currently in 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th all dropped bad points this weekend - most giving then away to teams lower in the table. 

I don’t see it getting better. That’s the main thing. I see zero answers in regards to the questions we were asking about the midfield over a year ago, a huge reluctance to pick teams based on home / away and opposition a la Rafa, one dimensional game plans and players clearly not buying in to the approach. What are we expecting from Howe? He wakes up one day a different man?

Not buying in? Idk about that brotha. Boys looked bought in the last several games.

With this squad and this manager, do you see us finishing top 6? 

Not this season now if I was being honest. 
I think we will finish top 10 but we are lacking something and too inconsistent to trouble top 6 for me this season. Unless a truly trans formative January window and major shift in midfield and tactics at some point. 
Sadly I think that will spell the end for our current and lead to a sale of a few players and a reset.
