Really? I thought we poor against Hull only they were a lot worse that day. Beaten off Liverpool, better but completely stupid game plan meant we were always going to be beat. Played better against Leicester who were awful and we still nearly drew. Then back to being terrible, if that is your basis that we turned a corner then we may have to agree to disagree, the better performances seem more like the anomalies than a change in fortunes. Again I don't think the injuries issue comes close to mitigating our poor performances this season.
So typical in here. When we lose it's always because we are poor and when we get results we are lucky because we are still playing poorly.
In the ten games prior to the start of ACON we were 4W, 1D, 5L for 1.3ppg (49pt pace) and were tied for 8th overall during that stretch. That includes games against Chelsea, ManU and Liverpool (twice). How is that "poor"?
Additional injuries and losing players to ACON has killed the momentum and no bottom half team has enough depth to withstand that. It's going to continue to be ugly until we get most of our starting players back and stop having to improvise. The good news is that the seven bottom teams are, collectively, 6W, 10D, 26L in their last six games - it's not like we're going to be cut adrift.
