Nor is firmino

You and others get carried away with 1 game v palace which 19x loved posting about.

Ridiculous challenge by Mcarthy of Palace on the edge of his own box to give Leicester a real opportunity to win it in the 90th minute.
Footballers ain’t blessed with too much up top in general

I don't. most of us don't. yet you have panic attacks every time we lose or draw.

We were so slack in the second half. We basically played like we'd won the game and West-Brom were never getting back in the match . The intensity wasnt there at all.. We didnt move the ball quick enough like we did in the first half. If we had of done the space would have finally opened up..

We tend to throw everything at a 30-40 minute spell - Queens Gambit style. It can often overwhelm the opposition BUT if it doesn’t work we naturally tire afterwards and the game changes.

See the Spurs - City - Fulham - Palace and West Brom games for evidence of big swings in game play.

We are brave and we play high up the pitch BUT teams know that we are more reliant on a mistake than our own brilliance. Yesterday but for a moment of Brilliance - we don’t score a single goal.

We really need to start to put some wins together. i cant see Man-city being able to field a strong 11 for at least 2 weeks. They have the Everton fixture to get in there some place a long with a tight fixture list they won't have much time to recover.
Man-city to me is the biggest threat to us this season. the rest of the teams are very inconsistent.

The Fulham game surprised us with the way they countered us.. took us ages to get back into the rhythm
We havent been bad this season.Just not the quality and let in stupid goals. Maybe the compacted season isn't helping. Lots of teams are going through the same.

Against wba at home yes that's not acceptable just because we beat palace 7-0, what was the point in that, and not even winning v west fucking brom ffs

If we lose the title by 2 pts end of season you know why, then can ahve a panic attack every time we draw to trash too.

Could of been out of sight already, but we're drawing to the likes of fulham wba and Brighton

- let's hope it doesn't cost us ey?

[miller0863]

We won many games by the odd goal last season by keeping it tight at the back. This season with all the disruptions at the back it’s made us that little bit more vulnerable.
Four points dropped v WBA and Brighton to late goals we weren’t conceding last season in tight games.
Add those 4 dropped points to the 2 stolen at Goodison and we’re not complaining

[Insidious]

Main thing about the frustrating draws is that they aren't losses.

Points are being dropped all over the place this season. By everyone. I'd like City to slip up a result or two soon as they are hardly conceding any goals at all right now but beyond that I have few concerns about other sides in terms of being "rivals" for a Title challenge.

Can all change quickly in either direction, but still quietly confident.
