I know what you’re saying but I think there is a certain pragmatism in acknowledging that there are signs of progress even if the actual result was shocking.Even Arsenal would mot embarrass themselves by talking about positives and progress like many on here have since Fridays defeat , there is almost a celebratory tone off some because we gave Middlesborough a good game and were unlucky to lose. It is Manchester Utd not kidderminster Harriers.
It’s not necessarily an acceptance of lower standards; more that there have been games this season where we genuinely didn’t look like a football team. So the journey back to competence includes these baby steps.
We all want to be a top 5 side in Europe, title challengers etc but this team has been so low, so disjointed, dressing room divided etc that we are trying to find positives where we can. If I can’t see positives then I’m not watching tomorrow night. I’m trying to maintain my support of the team by looking for the progress to give me hope. Because we really have been hopeless this season.
