You want to know what real knee jerking is. When for 6 months prior we were basically unbeaten in the league, nothing occurs, then in the summer due to not signing Sancho everyone starts to turn on the club, because "we are falling behind". At this time, no games had been played. We lost two league games and win one with bad performances, clearly due to the lack of preseason we have had, and people are already clamouring for Ole to be sacked. We end up signing 5 players, 2 for the future ( which we have all been clamouring for) and 3 in now. One that looked great yesterday ( telles), one that has looked good when played ( vdb) and another that has been world class in the past ( cavani). But because we don't sign sancho, even though we fixed our depth issue which was shown yesterday, we are a club in decline apparently.
People were so hell bent on looking at other teams, that they forgot that despite our defensive issues this season, we have players coming through in that position, like Tuanzebe that we saw last night. Kneejerking is scrutinizing AWB and Maguire, despite how good both were last season, forgetting the last 6 months, and laughing at them for having a terrible incident over the summer. Wanting them to be stripped of the captaincy or sold.
What's funny about last night is that its actually what we should have expected given our results and performances over the last 6 months. We have annahilated teams and been solid defensively. The spurs, palace and even Brighton games were actually anomolies, yet people who wanted to be right about Ole and the club, purposely forgot last season's climax in order to get an agenda going.
In reality, it is the OP who is kneejerking, not the people celebrating this win.
