Since the Moyes era at least we've been guilty of too often failing to show up in big games and/or failing miserably against so-called lesser teams at Home.
Is there a chance, finally, with an experienced manager at the helm, we'll stop this horrible annoying tendency?
I'm not expecting miracles and us to head down the '62 and play either of the Mancs off the park. But the days of turning up at one of the sky elite and not even trying were all too common. I know we finally turned that record around a bit under Ancelotti but then he followed that up most times with having us play with clogs on our feet and make a West Brom, a Fulham or a Crystal Palace look like blimmin Brazil.
Likewise I know every team has their day but at least if we're playing a team with a fraction of our playing budget - at least for God's sake I want to see us look as if we know where the goal is and try and attack.
