Yesterday was really the first poor performance in a long line of decent and very good ones.

I take your point about the money spent, Kal but what I would say is that it would be more relevant to my thinking if we hadn't been deprived of points by incompetent (and I'm being kind, there) officials. Yes, I know that can happen in any game, but the shocking decisions and non-decisions that have afflicted us this season have had a massive bearing on where we are. When you factor that into the equation along with the fine margins then I don't think we can judge where we are accurately. And certainly not enough for some of our fans on social media to be having a pop at Howe and the owners, ffs.
I'm not saying it is or isn't good enough zip. Just saying (as did Trini) that we don't really know how patient the Saudis will be. We don't have any previous to go on as far as they're concerned.
