I really thought after the Spurs game our away form would slowly improve but today's performance is probably up there as the one of the worst this season. Create nothing, dominated in MF and just bossed everywhere on the pitch
We have not got top 4 for the last 2 years because of our dreadful away form and once again I believe it will be our archilies heel.
We have also lost to teams like Rennes and Bate this season which just shows how bad this form is
We have won 5 away games all season. That is just unacceptable and pundits are right to suggest that we won't get top 4 as we still have 4 away games left.
We are too far into the season to see dramatic changes in our away form to beat Watford, Leicester and Wolves
For all the abuse Sari gets from Chelsea fans, we have the same number of points as them
Away form is just too poor for top 4

I can see Deeny battering us next week. Watford are far more physical than Everton and with it being a live televised game, I'm backing Watford.
Then you have Brendan Rodgers Leicester. Vardy will probably get a brace and then you have wolves who have given everyone a tough game

Need to win 2 of the 4 away games and we'll be alright I think. United are struggling now, Spurs should get 3rd with their fixtures. We need Liverpool to beat Chelsea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Struggling? We lost away to you and Wolves away. We've had harder games than you over last few weeks.
We've got 4 at home and 2 away to come. You've got 4 away and 2 at home. It's going to go down to the final day I think.

Thanksfully united have to play City and Chelsea yet but our dreadful away form will take it to the wire

Let's be honest it was an awful team selection from Emery.

You've lost 3 of your last 4 and got lucky to win the other one, Ole honeymoon period is over.

Emery has to take the blame for this. Imagine setting up a midfield of Guendouzi and Elneny & expecting to win the game.
We created nothing in the first half and only some half chances in the start of the second. His team selections are too negative away from home outside the top 4.

He's got a 70% winning record. It's Jose's meltdown that may cost us.

That was the new manager effect, now that they're learning his philosophy and tactics you've started losing.

We had only won 2 of our last 12 away matches in all competitions going into this game. Blackpool and Huddersfield.
If anything, I think we did well to keep Everton down to 1 goal. We've been shipping almost 2 goals every time we play away.

..............................
The last 3 league games we had a high expected goals than our opponent. We deserved to beat Arsenal and Wolves but the opposition outperforming expected goals and Man Utd significantly doing worse than expected goals made us lose. Even against Watford our expected goals was high than the opponent.
Arsenal have been significantly doing better than expected goals against Man Utd, Newcastle Utd, against Everton.
Arsenal are playing relegation level football while we are winning title winning football going by recent expected goals.

Funnily enough if you look at OGS record, the games we failed to win and have drawn or lost were some of our most dominant performances in expected goals. Football a funny old game.
