With less of the season gone and a lot of other teams struggling for consistency it's hard to say. One of my United mates was upset that they won, as they felt the sooner they get rid of OGS, the sooner they can get out of their funk.
Had this come before United away we'd have still been a bit more optimistic but there are a lot of issues to fix. Defensively we aren't right and we desperately need a better midfield than what we put out on Wednesday. We all pinpoint moments that affected our decline, one of the major ones for me was the moment we realised Dembele had just got a bit too old for Poch's regime and we've been fudging that midfield since, on the most recent Fighting Cock the question came up, 'if you could have one player from another team, who would it be?', the consensus was Kante, absolutely agree we need a controlling influence in midfield.
After the Manchester United game I said that I love Sissoko but if we're picking him as a first 11 player as a CDM every match then something is a bit wrong. He has great energy and I know he will always work hard for us but he's not a long term answer to our woes.
There are 2 ways I see this going, we take the hit and go mid table, then start next season without the Europa and properly rebuild or we seriously go for top 4 and get on a run. Jose has tried to fix some of our deficiencies and strangely though Wednesday was rubbish, had we avoided the individual errors we could have (very undeservedly) nicked something.
Too early to see how things will go but we need to look at some new players come next transfer window.
