think everyone is or is close to agreeing what bad form and shape we are in presently.

In discussion with my Arsenal fan friend tonight about Sunday and it jumped out that Away at Arsenal will be the 6th Game in 7 not at the lane. Since our last good performance against City the only home game was at Leicester, which is probably our best performance of the 6 presently played away from the lane.

Do we think this is simply coincidence relating to our bad form or how heavily has this impacted our current form?

Over the last few years we've been one of the best performing away teams in the league, to the point where I thought we looked more relaxed and better on the road. Just need to get our tails up again.

I did mean to enter this as part of the discussion too, but you brought it up regardless. Agreed we've been very good on road, just not this season. Still a huge chunk of games in one spell.

The only issue I think we have is putting the ball in the net it just won't go in. We played well at West Brom and the Bournemouth game should been a draw. Once again I thought we were good against Leicester not great but good. We had 2 chances off the woodwork and multiple over chances we missed. The league cup game was a poor performance but that's down to playing a very good side and players gettting to play who haven't featured all season. The CL game the other night was a very poor performance but when we did create one or two chances it just wouldn't go in the net. Erisken and Walker pulling shots wide, dier off the bar and Jansen missing the follow up also alli being denied a stone wall penalty. Now if you put into the fact that we have had loads of away games and multiple injuries, we can still qualify from the CL group with 2 wins, and we are only 3 points of Arsenal which we can close the gap on Sunday.

As said if your not scoring goals that has a knock on effect on the whole teams all round performance

Let's be honest H cannot come back quickly enough and VJ needs to start contributing in that department soon because a club like us cannot rely so heavily for goals on 1 man
