You use the Brighton match in the same period where we won 8 of our lat 11 matches including going to Anfield where our record is poor and taking much needed point and going to Etihad and beating the Champions?
If that was statement game then what were the others then in that same period? I've given you 8 matches there and you've given me 1 - hardly 5 to 25 but okay...
You seem to be hung up on this word bottle? You know teams lost matches from time to time right? It's okay to say we lost without insisting that we bottled it, it happens and guess what it happens to our rivals as well. That's what happens when you tend to play clubs with a lot of money in the best league, players, coaches in the world, you're going to lose from time to time.
