The bad news is that Tottenham Hotspur picked up their 21st defeat of the Premier League season last night, but the good news is that there is just one more game to go.
In fact, the even better and more consequential news from last night was probably that the North Londoners didn't lose any more important first-teamers ahead of the Europa League Final next week.
However, with all that said, Ange Postecoglou can't be particularly pleased with his team, as even though they had some good chances and put in a far better showing than they did on Sunday, they're still going into their most important game in years off the back of a defeat.
Moreover, while some players made a good case for why they should stay in the team, like Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min, other players most certainly did not.
Odobert & Son's game vs Aston Villa
So, while they might be rather small, let's start with the positives then, like Odeobert and Son.
The former moved from the right wing to the number ten position in the absence of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, and while he didn't exactly blow us away, he offered something fresh.
While he was guilty of a mistimed shot here or a dodgy pass there, the Frenchman was incredibly busy and, at points, interchanged with his fellow attackers in a way that could cause problems for Manchester United on Wednesday night.
It was a performance that left a somewhat favourable impression on the Standard's Dan Kilpatrick, who awarded him a 6/10 match rating.
He gave the same rating to Son, praising him for showing some of his 'trademark bursts down the left flank', which at points were the team's best moves.
Moreover, while his end product wasn't ideal, journalist Seb Stafford-Bloor argued that he looked "quicker with the ball at his feet than he has in months."
In all, while it would be hyperbolic to suggest either player was fantastic last night, it would also be fair to say they both showed enough to be in contention to start the final, which cannot be said for one of the other starters.
The Spurs star who has to be dropped
Unfortunately, there were a few players who were rather unimpressive last night, such as Mikey Moore and Pape Matar Sarr, but the starter who has to be dropped ahead of Wednesday is Archie Gray.
Now, it should be said that the former Leeds United gem has generally been great for Spurs this season and has done an admirable job filling in across the backline.
However, just like last weekend against Crystal Palace, the versatile 18-year-old really struggled in the middle of the park.
If he wasn't making a poor pass, he was struggling to cope with the defensive side of the game, and there was more than one occasion in which the Villans simply bypassed him without much trouble.
Kilpatrick wasn't particularly impressed with him either, awarding the Englishman a 5/10 match rating at full-time and writing that he 'struggled to impose himself on the game.'
Ultimately, while it was another night to forget for Spurs, Son and Odobert showed that they might be able to make something happen on Wednesday. On the other hand, Gray reminded Postecoglou that he is not ready to start in the middle of the park.
