I think we're over reacting a bit.
I'm not sure one can over react to a 0-5 hiding. Today was the inevitable consequence of another Summer of poor planning. We needed two Center Backs, not one, and certainly not one we couldn't get because of a display of contempt and arrogance. Center backs need to play together constantly, they need to form partnerships, and these two just don't play together enough to be a first choice partnership.
We also needed a new Goalkeeper, although many of you disagreed when I said sell the guy while his stock was high. Again, we didn't and again from what little we've seen so far this season, we don't have a Keeper fit for the purpose of becoming an elite club again.
Yes the ref changed the entire dynamic of this game today with a poor, poor decision but going down to ten men doesn't mean you get whalloped. We did and the only reason we did was because City exposed every flaw we showed last season and failing to address those weaknesses and flaws in the Summer was nothing short of criminal.
