I somehow feel that 1-1 or 2-2 would leave people feeling less worried.

It used to be reckoned that you need 6 chances for each goal.

Yes indeed, especially if your parents and grandparents had worked hard and made great sacrifices in order to build a better society for you to live in.

Didn't we have exactly the same problems towards the end of last season?

We're safe. What's the problem?

Alan Shearer said something similar last night on MOTD. he went through a bad phase at Newcastle but then Bobby Robson came in and spotted the problem. He said Shearer was too easy to play against because he always showed the defenders the number on his back. He should have been making more runs in behind. They then illustrated this point with Falcao (?) at Man Utd.

That whole season was one big clusterbuck. Looking back, it seems we had a death wish from the first game.

I'm struggling to see how not playing a player means that he will score more goals.

A fair summary. Perhaps the board took the view that we were safe for this season and anything else would be a bonus.

That's far too sensible for this place on a Sunday morning.

Yes, both of them at fault. I don't see the point of playing five across the back if Berahino is going to be left with half the pitch to himself.

How are Villa doing, for example? There's a long list of strikers who aren't scoring much at the moment.

It's the same for every team.

Mané at Tottenham?

Knee problem according to MOTD.

Still a bit soon for this but I'd be happy with your suggestions, plus a few more.

Thank goodness Tuesday comes quickly so we can put this one behind us. Then we can have something else to complain about.

He can't keep on doing that. Once his confidence returns he'll be scoring for fun.

Sorry! Just joining in with the zeitgeist.

If we finish 5th you will have been proved correct.

Probably got his finger stuck in a dyke.
