It shouldn't distract too much from the progress we've made in the last few weeks.
The task given to ole was to bring back some positivity, get this side playing to their potential.
He has done that. On nights like tonight, We see the limits of that side.
I'll take that and being beaten by a quality side over the shithousery of Sevilla last season.
We have a chance to react now. Knock Chelsea out the cup. Beat Liveprool. Get that top four place and build around a promising start to a rebuild.

It's not often you get reminded of THE standard . And it's got to such an extent that most of us have forgotten what it looks like. A good run playing mostly dross had obviously got a few people understandably carried away..fair enough.
But i knew how this was gonna go when i saw carrick giving them all a £#%&!ing huddle/pep talk before the game, they all £#%&!ing froze.
And the defence? All of them are nowhere near good enough. PSG's players were throwing themselves infront of everything - ours can't even mark people at corners.
Well if we ever have any ambitions about challenging for this competition again I think it's fair to say most of that first team are in need of a serious upgrade.
