Reading some of silly Sandy's articles will have you believing we are walking the league, with this great unbeaten record in tact, whereas the rest of us know, that since totally outclassing city, we have been a complete and utter frustration and disappointment, and have undone all our good work in that game.
quite simply, its not good enough at the moment.
we have backed up the city win with 3 draws against mid table sides, the equivalent points total of a win and two defeats, and whereas we had chances to go top of the league in two of those games, we now find ourselves 3 points off the top, with arsenal west ham and Chelsea our next three - big derby games and points will have to be hard earned.
I got a bit of stick when Son had his little 5 games purple patch, due to the stick I gave him last season, but it seems that old clown shoes is reverting to type. so frustrating.
as for eriksen, he needs dropping, its as simple as that. he is offering absolutely nothing at the moment, not even a set piece delivery. son and lamela both have better deliveries at the moment.
the attack is so blunt... its not even janssen that's the problem, he is making runs... its the 3 in behind him that are currently playing like caaaaants.
so how do we fix this? we need to pick up some form, and fast, as if we cannot score goals then we will probably lose at least 2 of the next 3 in the league, and leave ourselves way too much to do to get back into contention.
thoughts?
So Dissapointing

talking rubbish but this is a chelsea fan so that's no surprise. Why shouldn't we be in the title race? I couldn't give a flying f** if Liverpool are a big club. We have finished about those muppets in 6 of the last 7 seasons so in recent history, it's normal for us to finish above them so how the hell do you come to the conclusion that Liverpool are realistic title contenders but spurs not? Not to mention we have one of the best sides in the league and the youngest. We should be challenging the title no doubt about it and will be for a long time so i suggest you just deal with it mate.

Just a touch bitey?

All this unbeaten talk is annoying. Not as if we've picked up points in loads of games we were expected to lose. 3 draws after the City game - 3 points out of 9 - feels like facking defeats anyway. Same as last season, not killing off the weaker teams.
Chronic, why are you entertaining that Chelsea rodent? Worthless scrote is obsessed with Spurs.

Similar to last season. Too many draws and seemingly not enough drive to grind out wins / too cautious not to drop points
I remember last season thinking "serves us right" after losing to Newcastle at home, as we showed very little ambition to win a game and were instead happy knocking the ball about in defense. Mind, after that defeat to Newcastle we got our shiet together, as if it was a wake up call. Maybe a loss (instead of another bunch of draws) wouldn't be such a bad thing

I disagree. If and when Liverpool and United get their act together you will be pushed out of top 4 for forseeable future.
Top 4 for next few seasons: City. Chelsea. Two from Liverpool United Arsenal
Your team is overhyped "
and your team are sh** and are just going through a little honeymoon spell. Chelsea will be back to abysmal performances in no time when the likes of Hazard etc can't be bothered. Big difference is spurs have a young side that actually want to play for eachother and the club. Your club consists of a bunch of expensive mishaps that at the flick of the switch decide they no longer want to play well for the club. Chelsea are going to find it hard to even get in the top 4 no doubt it/.. You are not on the level to win the title and you certainly ain't better than spurs

haha you dopey mug.... arsenal wont be going out the top 4 any time soon, they are the most consistent top 4 finisher and have been for ages.
if a team will miss out, it will be Chelsea, as you have done a couple of times recently

Chelsea are not even that good chronic as proved by their total spanking at the emirates. They are going through a good spell but will fall back down like a pack of cards in no time. Spurs are a better side than chelsea no doubt about it. We just need to get our act together.

It`s a marathon not a sprint, we`ve had a heavy schedule, injuries and loss of form to key players, yet are not losing games.
Take 2 or 3 key players out of any of the top teams and see how they cope. Soon we will have 3 of our best players back and 100% fit.

by that time we could be miles off the pace.
looking at our fixture list, there is a very real need to improve now, not in a couple of weeks, not in mid December, but literally now, or we will find ourselves in the Europa league after xmas, and out of the title running earlier than that.
