Our great run continues and not for the first time we did it by not playing well. We have managed to get away with our mistakes by winning, however this won't continue for ever so our sloppy play has to be addressed and I'm sure Emery is on the case. If anyone watched tonight's match of the day it highlighted how we were forced to get penned in on our right back positions and we definitely struggled to get out at times and the left wasn't a lot better. Man U stats apart from the goals were better than ours and we rode our luck. If we don't address the issues highlighted by our performances against, Wolves, West Ham Brighton Man U we will eventually lose games and non of us want that.
Our performances against Bournemouth and Arsenal were superb and we fully deserved our wins, I'm sure there are still a few on here that can still see no wrong but the honest faithful have to accept that we haven't been at our best in recent games including the two European games. Teams will look at the way Man U restricted us today and we can expect all teams to follow suit. We need to adapt our style to counter this. Third at Christmas was unimaginable after our poor start which is absolutely brilliant but we need to address the issues we still seem to have which eventually will leave us vulnerable to results going against us.

How many teams in the PL have done this in the last 2 seasons? Always finding something negative can't you just be happy for once in your life?

It's definitely not meant to be negative daz, when things are glaringly obvious it's only right that they are taken in consideration in order to make us a better team and improve problems that might prevent us being our best possible team. If anyone is saying we have played consistently well in the last couple of months that are not watching the same football as me and many of my friends and family.
There is absolutely nothing disloyal commenting on matters that can effect how well we compete against other top contenders, especially if we are fighting for champions League places

Nobody is playing well every week. Arsenal have had multiple games where they haven't been anywhere near top gear but have found a way to win - apart from against us. Same for City.
We're over performing with the squad we have (especially considering Watkins form) but we need to be careful not to measure this team against an impossible standard.
Enjoy the ride and i'll say it again, keep level heads when performances/results aren't what we'd all like in an ideal world, which doesn't exist.

I must be watching differently then as we have won 10 on the bounce in all competitions. Try telling that to Man C Arsenal Liverpool Bayen PSG most in form team in the top 5 European leagues since September is no meant feat playing bad and still winning in probably 2 of them games is a sign of a good side .
