Good. He should be maybe not fed up but driven to try and improve to be able to beat them next time. The if you can't beat them join them attitude is rife in football these days. Players join a club play pretty well individually and then decide that they deserve better because they lose to better teams. It is basically searching for an easier job with a higher reward (in terms of money and trophies). It doesn't always work out personally though, just ask Berba.
The great situation we have now is that right now we can't seem to beat them but the players are looking around at each other in to coin Defoe's phrase they are 'in awe' of the players they are working with. You think that those players might just realise that they are onto a good thing and knuckle down work harder and try to get better and grow with the obvious huge potential we have? You have to hope that players like Modric, Lennon and Bale realise that maybe the best way to get to where they want to be isn't to join them but to push themselves harder to beat them. That way they have a huge opportunity to not only win a few trophies and get a nice bit of cash at the same time, but become part of something truely great, part of a club's folklore, a piece of a club's history. Maybe just maybe they can look around at each other and see that with a lot of hard work they can really achieve it all with us.
That's beautiful man...
