We should have won that game MOW, but we didn't. Yes, it's a point and yes, we are still in 6th place. Our defence is doing it's job superbly but we are supposed to be an attacking side, crammed with internationals, but we just can't score.
Some have commented that teams lower in the Prem set up to defend, so what? we should still have the ability to unpick that particular lock. I hear and read the word 'unlucky' after just about every match because someone has hit the bar or their effort was saved. It's not unlucky, it's just poor finishing.
Face that fact and address it, so we can move forward and we will achieve top 6 this season imo.

In the seasons with Nuno we always failed to win games against teams from the lower positions in the league. I think it's probably playing against two banks of four set up to defend. Plus as we saw last night a significant number of as they call professional fouls or cheating as I prefer to call it! The one on Traore by Ben Mee that he got booked for being the most blatant. Had that been in the centre of the pitch it would have been red as he was the last man! Maybe it should have been?

I agree longmynd, for me the problems lie in midfield, to slow to move the ball forward at pace, too many sideways and backwards passes, too much reliance on Raul and hwang.
Our defence is one of the best in the division and kilman in particular has been a revelation,if our attacking was of the same calibre we'd be challenging Chelsea at the top of the league.

That's one issue bigcheese68, it's just a shame that we didn't beat Norwich and Burnley, even though we had chances. Had we have done so we would be sitting in 4th right now.

It could cost us unless it's addressed, we have a golden opportunity to push on, let's hope the club don't waste it.
