Hello. You make fair points that can be debated but I think you need to look up the definition of awful.

And that goes for many of us, myself included. Many fans see us as either "good" or "rubbish".

In truth, we didn't play well overall but had spells where we dominated and did look good. Some of our key players are missing and others are misfiring (Eriksen was an example) and things haven't worked yet for Janssen but actually we were not awful.

I don't understand why anyone thinks we should be thumping teams every week with dominant displays of classy football with the wage structure, transfer budget and injuries we currently have. What we are doing is keeping pace with the top teams and haven't been beaten in the league which itself is credit to the squad.

Yes we didn't play brilliant football for 88min. But I'd rather be in our shoes than West Ham's, who played really well for large chunks of that match as an away side in a derby yet left empty handed thanks to 3min of poor football.

Things are fine. Smile!
As I said, I'd watch us lose every week as long as we try and win. I don't expect us to "thump" anybody and never said I do. And wage structure, etc has nothing to do with why I'm moaning.
To clarify I don't think wham deserved to win but did we? We did fk all, again, for a massive chunk of the game.
We're just boring at the minute imo.
We were utter shit for many a year but I still went and watched because we tried. We attacked and entertained.
Fk me we were 2.1 down at home in a London derby and you'd have thought we were 3.1 up and running the clock down with 20min to go. Its like we've forgotten the aim of the game is to score sometimes.
I must be watching a different game to some people I guess but if you think we're playing ok at the moment (not you personally) and you're enjoying it I can only presume you're either just watching highlights on motd or AVB lol.
Obviously anyone would rather be where we are than wham.
I think Poch will sort it once we get our better players back but god its crap to watch imo... recently. Frustratingly interspersed with really good performances against the best teams making it more bizarre.
