Disappointing doesn’t begin to cover it

IT was always going to be a big ask to win the league, but to capitulate in such a gutless manner was an insult to the travelling support and all of us who believed in them.

To concede a first minute goal is just one of those things, but it’s how you react to such set-backs that separates champions from also-rans.

Let’s not kid ourselves. In that first half we could have been 4-0 down — we were totally over-run. It was evident that Ancelotti got the team wrong (again). We had no width, we had no pace, we had no movement in the midfield.
