OK you chose to do this don't complain
What a load of myopic bollocks. Its another example of rose tinted glasses . Chelsea, a team acknowledged to be in transition, have had some really poor home results this season yet have taken 21 home points to our 22 with a game less played. They are or have been under a transfer ban. Played the kids, are still in the FA cup , still in Europe just and despite a run of bad form sit in fourth place. They rocked us 5 2 at our place and have won 7 times on the road. But their fans still say there is room for improvement. Which is exactly what I have been saying. 7 draws at home is too many IF you are a top side IF those draws are against your rivals or worse.
I cannot see how you can claim to " destroyed a point" when its a point you consistently choose to miss.
To summarise . We are the comeback kings. Its good to have that ability, but better to be ahead first.
We have been poor in probably 5 of those 7 home draws and lucky in at least two.
In those draws our shots on target number is, in the main , woeful showing a lack of alternative creativity.
If we really do want to have a meaningful discussion about breaking into the top six we need to sort out some pretty obvious fallibilities first.
All that said, its fantastic to be where we are. But we haven't made it ,won anything or reached any finals of meaning. We have a really tough tie in Europe and need to focus on that but in no way can we just ignore some of the real issues about the Brighton game. No one deserved more than 6 and there were plenty of 5 and 4 performances on show.
