Wow. Two home losses in a row.
Not a goal scored in either.
Even with Kun on the pitch.
Next game away at Stamford Bridge
Do you feel the pressure mounting? Today's competition played us well. We were very unlucky on the first goal, even though a defensive mistake led to the play. But we had luck other times in the day. I can't say we were officiated fairly, because we were not. Two clear penalties were waved away.
But against competition like that, we should not have to worry about the officiating. We should have put the ball in the back of the net 6 times early, but didn't. If we had, I would not even have to mention Mr. Doud's performance. But so it goes. We were worried before the match about the trip to the middle east. Change of weather, change of time zones. Flying back the day before was not a good idea.
It's a long season, and its a long season for a reason. As fans, we like it that way. The ups and downs of particular weeks are what keep us interested in the game. It's not just being a glory hunter.
I hope that management still has faith in Manuel. I hope the players do, too. Official pronouncements about his predecessor leaving had to do with lack of progress in the Champions League. If we don't look respectable against Barcelona, we'll be in that same spot.
It's a long season. Lets see what time brings us.
