In every game our defence and midfield get deeper and deeper leaving an ever growing gap to the forwards. Opposition mid-fielders sit in this gap, with acres of space, and dictate the game. We have to push up and close teams down.
Good performance. We kept the ball better than we usually do and didn't get the tonking we could have got with Vlaar missing again. Crap result at Norwich though after it sounded like Everton were cruising at one point. Looks like it's down to 3 of 5.

Defeats at places like Arsenal aren't the results that get you relegated over the course of a season.It is doing badly against teams you should hope to compete against that dooms you, and sadly, we do plenty of that.What you really have to do is fight and scrap when you see points here and there that people wouldn't expect you to get. That is an area in which we have been utterly pathetic all season long, and it shows no real signs of getting any better. Whether it is throwing away two points at Everton or a point today, or in numerous other games this year, we seem to show no indication we're tightening things up.Did anyone on the face of the earth really think we'd hold on for a point once Weimann scored? Really? We didn't, because yet again, we look frail and utterly, utterly brainless at the back.I still can not believe the act of wanton, short sighted stupidity that saw us not get a CB in during January. God knows how much that is going to cost us in the long run, because in other areas, there are things right about this team.Unfortunately, we'll continue showing the same fucking weakness week in, week out, and we'll get relegated - at which point all the players who have improved over the course of the season will want (and get) out, and all the work we've done this year will just get pissed away.Fucking infuriating, and a big fuck you to Lerner and his little poodle for mismanaging our club to this level of rubbishness.
