Spot on.
Before the season started (and after our dissapointing summer window) most people on here seemed to think we would end up in another top 4 scrap or worse. We still are of sorts, but being second in the table after having played 2/3 of the season is a lot better than
a lot of people predicted
Martial who i'd argue was our most important player last season before Bruno arrived has been utterly shit the whole season. Greenwood who is still just a kid was scoring for fun last year and now has 1 goal in 20. Rashford and Bruno are blowing hot and cold and are badly in need of a rest. Then we have Pogba who had Covid, was injured, then shite, then good and is now injured again. Then you have DDG who now keeps on with his steady decline and is now not even a midtable GK by any metric besides wages
People who keep banging on about "lowering expectations" need a reality check. I really want a Ferrari, i could ask my wife to buy me one for my next birthday. Of course i could ask it, but is it realistic? No.
And if i then told her she "should stop lowering expectations", how would she respond?
