It's baffling how willing we were to finish the game just passing sideways and backwards. Absolutely terrible performance. I'm not sure what has changed in the team, but we haven't played with any amount of spark or confidence since we beat Arsenal. We've looked even worse after every game, so won't be surprised to see us lose the next.
It's clear that we didn't have the experience to win the title this year, and the race is effectively over after today. City will beat everton, and will lead us the rest of the way. We've shown we can't handle the pressure, and there's no way we will catch them once they fall behind. Their experience, depth and money are showing, and we just aren't ready to compete. Awful way to lose it, but the cracks have been showing constantly for weeks now, and we did nothing to correct them. I don't see us going far in the Champions League either at this point.
This season looks like it will end up being the most disappointing in years, considering the position we put ourselves in early in the year.
