I mean, I get being upset after a really terrible 21-22 season. But come on, 2 games in, new manager and system. I wasn't expecting us to hit our stride till shortly before WC, and even so, I felt that was being overly positive.

I remember Cole was frustrating to watch at times. There were reports then that Cantona didn't think too highly of him as well. It was only when Yorke came that Cole looked a lot better.
