No point in denying it, we’re in very deep trouble now. We had 4 irreplaceable players (VDV, Romero, Maddison, and Son) and three are gone. Son was also dreadful today, really disappointing not to see him step up considering the crisis.
It’s been pretty clear since the beginning of the season that our first eleven is excellent, but the loss of any one of them and we’re really in a bad spot. And then they started dropping like flies.
A great skill in life is not compounding your mistakes, staunching the bleeding. Our club has just never been able to do that. Since Romero got tangled up and kicked out at that Chelsea player, it’s been like a snowball rolling down hill gathering in size and momentum, mistake after mistake. We’re going for struggle to recover from this until the new year. Our fixture list is brutal now.
