I do concur with the general pant pissing on the last couple of pages here in that this group of players has probably reached their phyiscal limit, and the reaminder of the month could be very painful.
Don't think we should be writing off the league though. Even if more poor results follow. We're still in touching distance and post January with players back we will look a very different team. A lot will happen between then and the end of the season.
Europe is and should remain a target, CL would be a bonus like last season. This baptism of fire season will do wonders for us long term.
