Just a small not of caution PL, shouldn't we wait until we actually make sure (see 15/16 season eg) before we suck each off and tar and feather the nay sayers?
For what it's worth, I think our performances have been pretty poor generally, we've been exceedingly lucky that Arse, Chelsea and ManU are all going through managerial transition and performing poorly as well, and that this PL is the strongest it's ever been from 7th down, meaning that all our rivals have found results as hard to come by as we have.
I'm not saying we don't deserve 4th, I think that's just about where we do deserve to be. And I'm someone who will happily give us credit when we play well but don't win. But this season, really good 90 minute performances have been pretty thin on the ground, luckily that goes for everyone around us.
