comebacks

I think I remember last season it took until near the end of the season for us to comeback from losing games to take all 3 points and it seems to have carried on this year against Swansea Southampton Arsenal Newcastle Chelsea City and Everton although we did rescue a point vs them.
do you think it could cost us in the race for top 4 because other teams like city Chelsea arsenal and united seem to have the mentality and firepower to win games from losing positions?

forgot about hull. Agree we played well vs city Chelsea.
But would still like to think we would come from behind to beat Southampton at home, Newcastle with 10 men and even Swansea. everton was good to get a draw with us going behind so late on so that was a good result

Against Southampton we had several attacking players missing.

it's not just this season though it was last season as well I think. most top teams will come from behind to win games at least a few times a season. also I appreciate that we haven't been behind to often but still to not do it once in 8 games this season and quite a few last season is disappointing.

Not to mention the centre backs at wing back

We are winning enough games to sit 4th.

Don't really care whether we win them from losing positions or not.

I am more than happy to be in the top 4. but with our record at coming from behind just wondering if it was a mentality thing. say when we do go behind is it on the players minds. I think it is because teams park the bus if we do go behind but would be nice to know we have enough about us to win them games. United have been doing it for years

We haven't been behind that much, so I wouldn't be looking at records. Not many teams would come back from behind vs Arsenal, Chelsea or City away. We didn't have enough firepower vs Southampton. Should've done better vs Hull though.

Which Everton fan are you then?

Liverpool fan. just thought it seemed strange but not too concerned with it as I am happy with how we brush aside teams at home and happy that we are in 4th.
