We are punching well above our weight and going through a lull due to being such a high intensity team. If we somehow managed to pull off a win in the cup final, I have no doubt some on here would still be bitching and whinging about a so called missed opportunity to finish top4 Nobody has forgotten the last 14 years, we’re just debating the depth of the squad and discussing what we’re seeing with our own eyes: a team not performing particularly well over the last 5-6 weeks. It’s completely feasible to be both ecstatic with the season from a broader perspective, but concerned with the immediate moment from a narrow perspective (unless you’re not capable of weighing up conflicting arguments and concluding that both have some merit in different ways). What is not boring on the forum is people discussing concern. What is boring is being told you’re ungrateful or somehow dismissive of the pain under Ashley for expressing criticism or a concern. Literally everybody on here is very happy that Ashley is gone and very happy that we’re no longer shit. For comparison’s sake, I love the band Death Cab For Cutie. If they make one album I don’t like and I express disappointment, am I to be dismissed as somehow less of a fan for somehow not appreciating their previous bodies of work from the preceding 14 years? There’s just no need to limit yourself to such binary thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keegshields Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Does Shelvey get better in absence? Totally does not fit in our team and press. Wish him all the best but not for us, similar to Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is that most fans, at least in this board, accept that we're a bit light in midfield, no one has really disagreed on that point. It's more the repetitive revelling in the "missed opportunity" that was the January transfer market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
