WE SHOULD BE 3rd, ONLY GASH TEAMS DRAW.
ITS A JOKE REALLY LIPURBOOL PLAY BETTER FOOTY DAN US AND THEIR MANAGA IS WELL ATTACKIN
I agree with the sentiment that you make your own luck. Newcastle and Fulham were games that we needed to see out. In most cases where we've dropped points we've started off slowly and handed the initiative to the opposition. If we hadn't conceded those sloppy goals then we wouldn't be bemoaning decisions later in the game that cost us a win.
WHERES THE TIKI TAKA MOIST? 27 SHOTS? ONLY 1 HIT THE POST, SORT IT OUT YOU GINGER WEAPON
The main thing that's been pleasing is the attitude of the players to keep playing football whether we're winning, drawing or losing. That kind of self-belief is something we haven't had before under Moyes. Even with Arteta dominating every midfield in the world we very often used to get frustrated if we couldn't break teams down, or resort to desperate tactics if we went a goal behind. Now we're keeping going physically, coping with **** players' hustle and bustle by passing around them and nearly always getting goals as a result.
It's about the start I'd expect from the players we've got, good play in the main but perhaps not enough individual quality to rack up win after win.

Just for another bit of perspective though, you know that Hibbert or Neville is playing right back next week now.
No!!!!!!
A lot of teams slipped up today, as someone said earlier we had a huge slice of luck last week, today wasn't our day but I'm super confident that we will be able to beat Sunderland at home. Gibson will be back also.
I can see us raising our game against the big teams but the one thing that worries me is the lack of ruthlessness and determination in the team. Can you honestly see us doing what Arsenal did midweek and turning a 4-0 deficit into a 2 goal winning margin?
We are playing some beautiful stuff but our players need to develop that killer instinct. Hopefully Jelavic will find his shooting boots in the latter half of the season and Moyes will bring in a midfielder with the steel and drive of a Peter Reid. Or is that just wishful thinking?
