For possibly the first time under Bielsa, I think we are putting out the best team we can, given our personnel. The players who infuriated me week after week (e.g. Costa) are finally out of the starting lineup. Yes, what remains isn't going to win the league, but with Bielsa's magic touch I'm confident that they're good enough to be mid-table in this league, which is good enough for me, this year.

We were outplayed yesterday and there were players who clearly struggled. No harm in discussing that.

I love the way we are playing and the players doing it, but there’s no harm in recognising a bit of reality when you see it - all in context. Of course I’ll take 17th.
