The worst thing is we've dropped 4 points that we really, really shouldn't have dropped.
We did exactly the same early in the Leicester season - a last minute goal against Burnley and another needless draw against Swansea IIRC. You just can't afford to do that if you want to win titles. It's those moments that make the difference.
Tbh, anyone talking about titles needs to calm the fuck down. Even a month ago the very idea was laughable so why do people suddenly think we deserve to be mentioned as contenders. You don't earn that through a couple of good performances, you earn that through grit and consistency.
It doesn't matter how many goals Kane and Son score this season if we can't grind out results and see out 3-0 wins or kill off teams like Newcastle. We need toto earn the right to be considered true title challengers. We shouldn't even start talking about it (at least not to opposition fans - love some nonsense chat on SC) until we've proven we're the real deal.
we did mess up the start of the Leicester season, but not v Swansea and Burnley (weren't in the EPL 2015/16 that was the Chelsea season)
