West Ham, Newcastle, Arsenal, Wolves and Leeds we did it as well mate
Whilst it has given us cause not to panic, as we can overcome it, it’s a bit of an annoying habit conceding first. It’s happened too much this season. Think we’ve only won by more than one goal 3 times? Obviously overall we’ve done well, but they’re two themes I’d like to see fucked right off next season. More 3/4-0 wins please
Think he meant 2026
I think he means calendar year not full season
Think the 'this year' bit kind of gave that away.

This year, not this season.
Just 7 times out of 18 this season and we've won 5 and drawn 2 when we've scored first at home

Disagree
Our advantage often seems to come from our players being fitter and playing with more control of the ball/less pointless running around
This grinds oppositions down and therefore it is no surprise that we win a lot of points from losing positions late in games
Especially when we can bring on fresh, faster players like Wilson and Chemdine late in matches
Teams that set off at 100mph like a bunch of Run Around Ronnies - and the Saudis are particularly guilty of this - tend to lose matches from winning positions late in games
This balance seems to work for us but Sunday’s match will be tough - Chelsea have spent a lot of money on their squad- some say finding new dodgy ways round the rules - but we have beaten them once already this season with a goal relatively late in the game
No need to change our approach at this stage I think
