Progress for a team that supposedly cannot defend

How long have you been waiting for this to reflect positively before posting it?

Thankfully we've managed to turn the form around a bit. Although the Brighton game was a worry we can only hope that is going to be a blip in an otherwise good run of form that will extend to the City game. If we don't lose to Villa, then I'll be more convinced we're on the right track, since when did we last not lose to a top team under Ange? Probably when we last played Villa.

What you can safely say regarding this season, compared to the way last season ended, is that performances have been much better. Coventry game was a stinker, Brighton 2nd half too and a few other moments aside, we have been pretty good and apart from the Arsenal game, should have been unbeaten.

Post again after 19 games 👍🏻

I read an article today comparing games and that's what made me think about it.

But looking at events, we were -2 points off last season until we beat United, then we were level pegging and then beating WHU put us 3 ahead, so we're only really ahead of last seasons curve since the weekend....that said our losses have been "better". NUFC Arsenal and BHA played us off the park last season and this season we lost all 3 again but really should have taken a minimum of 4 points from our performances.

We’ve been somewhat unlucky this season already, how we didn’t beat Leicester I will never know and we had 20 (twenty) shots at SJP and somehow lost 2-1.

The Arsenal game - they just defend better than we do and if we’re in our not taking our chances mode they will beat us.

Brighton was a bad loss, but we had won 5 on the bounce so you just have to accept it.

The main thing is we’re taking the cups seriously currently and that’s what I wanted the most - so quite happy so far

We lost 4-2 to Brighton last season. 3-2 this. Obvious progress.

Fingers crossed we can snatch a 2-2 draw in 11 months

Spurs thumped Villa 4-0 the last time they met. Would be very surprised if Spurs don't beat them pretty comfortably again. I don't rate them at all. Fair play they got top four, and they have started OK this season. But expect Spurs finish above them this season.
