This was the most worrying part of tonights loss for me...yet again as soon as we get put up against any sort of quality we get obliterated and deservedly beaten....we've had a relatively easy start to this season fixture wise with Stoke/Hull/Burnley all at home and away games at lowly west ham and Bolton....if you look at the league table we haven't beaten anyone from the top half,,,2 of our wins came against 2 of the current bottom 3 teams in the league and if were honest we've looked laboured against anyone even half decent this season...
Tonight we were well beaten...Fiorentina are a good side but we shouldn't be getting totally walloped like we did tonight...Tottenham did the same to us on the opening day when the score could have been anything for them that afternoon and Villa won comfortably at anfield....my worry is especially ahead of sundays match that any good side we've come up against this season we've been well and truly second best and lets be fair Spurs Villa and Fiorentina are hardly Barcelona Real Madrid and United fixtures are they...
The only teams we've beaten this year are:
Stoke city - At home (bottom half of the league)
Burnley - At home (bottom half of the league)
Hull city - At home (second bottom)
Bolton - needed a late goal to struggle past them (5th from bottom)
West ham - needed a late goal to struggle past them (3rd bottom)
And debrecen in Europe who lost 4-0 at home to Lyon tonight....and are arguably the worst of the 4th seeds in the competition...
We've only won gimme matches this season and the worry is going into sunday Chelsea could teach us a bit of a lesson...Fiorentina did tonight...spurs did on the opening day and Villa won easy at anfield....we seem to have gone totally 360 from last year where it was the lesser teams we were dropping points to...this season we dont look capable of beating anyone remotley half decent...
