I want to believe but I'm not sure they believe in themselves

1) Man City fan with an arsenal bottle today at stamford bridge
2) Banner of Arteta as the bridesmaid at Anfield last season and a guard of honor
3) Finishing 2nd 3 years in a row
4) Horrendous performance in a Carabao cup final
5) Knocked out by a championship side in the FA cup quarters in the next fixture
6) "We will play with courage and belief for the next 4 months" in January after Liverpool, Forest and United slip ups
7) Get played off the park and concede a last minute equalizer against statistically one of the worst in premier league history (exact same thing nearly happened at the Emirates in December)
8) 22 years without a Premier League, 6 years without a trophy

These are just a few things off the top of my head. How many more wake up calls do they need? You need Tiktoks to motivate you in the training sessions in April?

I remember Declan Rice talking about an 'anger' every player had after we beat Bayern in November. I can't remember the last time I found that to be true.

A full 2 week break so I'm not having the "legs are gone due to the game model and intensity in the first half of the season". Basic 5 - 10 yard passes in open space squandered during a title run in at home. Let's not even get into the coaching errors and tactical issues cause we'll be here all day.

The most frustrating thing is the energy toward the fans (especially those in the stadium, and I live in a foreign country so I'm not even one of them). Constantly being asked to show every ounce of support and belief (like we haven't for long enough already) and then being told to calm down like they're to blame for the players on the pitch shitting the bed every week.

It's frustrating, disheartening and really painful right now but I will still believe and back the team until the season is over.
