Yet the CM, RB and summer window was to blame to most.
I’ve said several times that our biggest problem for years has been not taking chances, or not creating chances in the final third.
If you care enough, you put the ball into the back of the net, against the frightened little teenager who’s never played a professional game of football before.
It wasn’t Levy missing, it wasn’t Trippier, it wasn’t Dier.
It was Dele and Moura. It was Son who got a red on half time.
Call it trying all you want, at the end of the day, the term bottle job is a fitting one......Wolves, Burnley, Southampton, West Ham and Bournemouth were all bottle jobs that did not require big signings to garner three points from the 15 available.
When can we say we bottled it? After a defeat to Everton? That’s one game. That’s acceptable.
6 wont be.....0 from 18pts when three was needed can’t be seen as anything else than bottling it.
