With a team together and willing to fight mathematically it is still very much in play imo
But the worst thing about the current situation is you don't know what you're going to get not game to game but minute to minute during the game from this team
I think this season so far has had a clear pattern?
We’ll have a decent to very good spell for circa 10-35 minutes. Our goals will come from set pieces or crosses.
There will be at least one formation change mid game.
There will be multiple forced or unforced turnovers.
The players will drop their heads and stop playing at some point - usually after a goal is conceded.
The manager will ask his players to be calm.
I’d say expectations are predictable and you could play this as bingo every Matchday.
