There has been some massive over-reaction to or result in Madrid. It’s nice to see that sniffin’ black markers still is popular amongst some.
The truth of the matter is this. We can’t expect to be anything other than what we got the other night until we starting pumping mobs that have been beating us with ease in Europe in the last few years. The performance against Athletico De Madrid good as it gets against that quality of opposition.
Domestically us and them are two blind men trying to pee the highest. They are unbeaten this season but are anything but frightening. They may say the same about us with good reason.
But Lennon last season showed even with The Myth they were nothing to be scared off. That’s something he gave us for those questioning his worth.
We are unbeaten at Poundland in 3 games and The Myth is gone leaving a cheerleader in an ill fitting suit. No longer scary.
