I’ll admit Hull was poor. Since then it hasn’t been the crisis social media is selling.
Yesterday was frustrating - 2pts dropped, but we’ve been doing that under almost every manager, Fergie included. It’s not a new disease.
The back line still looks short of pace and aggression, but the goal that denied them, though, was a worldie. Those don’t come along every week, and you can’t build a whole inquest around one of them.
Finally, most folks on here had us finishing 4th–6th. A sloppy opener and a last-gasp draw away at Everton don’t suddenly put that out of reach. If anything, those are exactly the results that leave you in that band rather than above it.
