Plenty of obvious omissions there.
Fact is, the teams above us are playing better football, maybe thats because they have better managers!

With respect, that's just daft. You can't take 4 players out of a squad to make that argument.
A lot worse of but still top 6. seriously we have been so lucky in some games this season could u say where u think we would be take Kane loris or eriksen out the team
Just Kane then
We'd be fucked.
Thanks that's all 
The bloke you're having a go at did pick Kane over two highly paid players. Surely some credit due?Thanks that's all
Yes mate just saying about a squad as a whole players out for a few games and the season goes on a slide
Credit? Now that really depends who is picking the kids over highly paid players
That's true for most top sides - they miss top players (at the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious)
Anyway we're not missing anyone - he must be shit
Anyone that did even the smallest amount to research before the season could tell you that Poch has never had a backup plan. It's certainly a downfall, but it's honestly not the end of the world.
A lot of people are pointing to the point we were found out. For me it's West Ham. We barely came away with a point and honestly were completely outplayed. When we're pressed we don't have any idea what to do. Play our own style against us and it's pretty certain that we'll struggle.

Pretty sure it's not that simple Ben - we wouldn't have any points if it was. As for West Ham, 0-2 down with 8 minutes to play, and getting a 2-2 seemed like a good back up plan at the time. (I admit we were poor, but we got a point - don't knock it mate)
It's certainly not that simple, but it's definitely a big part of it.
Coming away with a draw in that game was down to luck. That save on the penalty goes any other direction we lose.
It's luck if it's one game - it ceases to be luck when it happens as often as it does. We've got a team that can win playing badly - I always wanted us to have that character. The next step is to start winning with style - I'm sure it will come.
But if the keeper goes the other way we draw - it was a penalty - and we scored from it.
Late winners coming so often is definitely down to Poch's conditioning. However, this particular draw to me was very lucky.
We had the ball in their box, and Harry drew the penalty. The ball could have been anywhere on the pitch, and from WH's point of view it should have been - that isn't luck.
If I'm Adrian and Kane is taking a very late penalty against me I'm going right. Kane loves the left side of goal from open play and has had most of his penalties to the right side of goal blocked.
