If we take a look at the league table we see us as top scores and goals against the same as City, Chelsea who sit 2nd and 3rd. Sure lost 5 and a painful 5 in as much how we lost Newcastle and Woolwich were we were the better side. Brighton. What the fuck happened there! Then to lose against 2 sides who had yet to win a league game was a massive blow. I would argue had those 2 loses been against City/Liverpool we wouldn't be screaming for Ange's head like some are. But I understand why they are because what on paper should have been a fairly assured 6 points putting us in 3rd comfortably, we are sitting in an uncomfortable 10th! I'm as frustrated by this as anyone but I'm trying to look at the bigger picture and the positive numbers in the table.
No doubt in my mind Ange-Ball needs some rethinking from the man himself and I can only hope those results against Palace, Brighton and Ipswich has him questioning his approach sometimes with the players he currently has at his disposal. I'll avoid waffling on any longer, but the point I'm trying to make is we have had 3 major fuck-ups in the league so far, we are in the last 8 of the Carabo cup, and currently 2nd/3rd? in the EL comp, looking very likely to automatically qualify for the last 16. Point! I know the Ipswich result is still raw, but it ain't all bad imo!
