Philippe Clement was in full denial as he faced the media at Dens Park last night.
Outside of the press room bears were showering abuse at their heroes, online fans were highly abusive but in his own little world all was well for the bonkers Belgian.
Clement hyped the bears up to ridiculous levels from January through to late March, in April the same group of players have again failed to deliver despite the presence of a Proper Football Manager.
Yes, they gave a reaction. We didn’t get the result we wanted. We were the only team to deserve this result this evening in the possession, in the chances, the clear chances but you need to put the ball against the net.
Clement has bought fully into the culture of superiority, of entitlement and now has to deal with the aftermath.
He has fed the monster happily, now after two wins in eight matches he has to handle the expectations that come with the salary, brogues and buying into every delusion that is the reality for a club formed in 2012 by Charles Green.
His media display last night was as woeful as the performance of his team, a day of anger and outrage awaits with another media conference tomorrow as Clement follows the path of Micky Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst in a job that tends to implode in one year or less.
