Ok, maybe not weeks ago, but with no European football to deal with we should be closer to 2nd than still being in the squeaky bum territory that we are.
That's maybe a testimony to the quality of the rest of the league (with some teams being a bit cheeky with the psr rules) and the size of our squad.
Let's be honest though, we've looked horrendous in some games that we should've won easily. Fulham for example, we're miles better than them but still lost. There have been a fair amount of games that we haven't looked hungry enough.
Also, it's just an opinion, and as long as we qualify that's all that counts.
