Well the top 5 at any rate!

1. Man Utd 31-17-10-4-29-7-61
2. Chelsea 31-15-10-6-24-10-55
3= Everton 31-14-13-4-22-8-55
3= Liverpool 31-14-13-4-22-8-55
5 Arsenal 31-15-7-9-22-12-52

We just need to keep it going through the 2nd half (relative to the other teams who have picked up - particularly Arsenal)

TD
 

All that proves is that the bad refereeing decisions that have cost us at least 5 points all happened in the second half.

i disagree, granted that is an issue, but i think that fatigue is also a problem. this means, unfortunately, one of our main issues might be poor use of substitutes (there's also a lack of depth but we can't do too much about it until the window opens up again)

i hate to jump on moyes now because he's done so many great things for us this season, but i still believe his substitute use to be poor thus far, it seemed he had improved towards the middle of the season, only for it to taper off again. in a squad right now where players like AJ, who would start in most premiership teams are often limited to appearances off the bench, I think its necessary to bring him on much early to give him adequate time to adjust and make an impact.

moyes should consider limiting some of our more creative players to the bench for the first half, just so we can have that added spark for the last 35 or so minutes.
 
Not sure I agree with you. My response was actually flippant, but thinking about it, particularly recently:
- Fiorentina - got one goal each half
- Pompey - level at half time, won it in the second half
- Fulham and West Ham went the other way, fair enough

I'm sure fatigue is a factor at this stage, but I cannot remember Moyes making obviously bad choices regarding subs since Spurs last season.
