Last year these results ended 1-1 and cost us a lot of points. The turning point was the Southampton game, here you could see it all perfectly, 1-0 and this time it didn't become a 4, it really should have been 1-1 (actually saints should have won that game).
Since then we drew to a poor liverpool (mainly thanks to dave), lost to huddersfield, scraped past spurs, lost to chelsea.
It's mad to start getting on the managers back when we are 2nd and almost through the CL, but this isn't a blip, the start of the season was the blip, this is a continuation of last year and LVG's reign before that.
