2007-8 when we did have more wins at home coincided with a run of more than decent crowds, too. We sold out several times that year, including against the likes of Newcastle, and near sell outs with Derby and West Ham.Maybe that was also a reflection of our new-found spending power, though.
I was surprised when I saw how good our home record was in 80/81 (despite winning the league). Now only the top 3 tend to have great home records like that.
I think then playing at home was more of an advantage. I imagine Anfield has had similar decline in points for Liverpool...i.e it isn't a scary place to go as an opposing player anymore.

Fuck me that's depressingWe draw far too many at home, that was what cost us a CL place under MONI remember in 1982/83 when we played 21, won 19, drew 1 and lost 1happy days
We need to improve our home form if we to do anything in the league looking at the stats there are too many draws I'm hoping for us to do better this season with our attack we can always score goals now the defence seems to be solid again I can see us improving.
