Having had time to calm down and look back on this i've come to a few conclusions.
Firstly, we were away to the team in second, who had previously won their last 8 at home, we scored twice and were only beaten due to individual errors. While not the result we wanted , far too often we've gone into a big game, conceded and gone on to get battered.
Despite the loss we have improved.
Gareth barry is clearly not an option against mobile, high pressing teams.
Ross is getting better and more influential with every game.
Our manager is not perfect, he made a mistake and hopefully he'll rectify it.
The summer see's us desperately need an improvement on mirallas to play in that position just off rom, another first team quality centre half and a better quality backup striker.
