I agree that I have no different level of expectation based on the team we play - just as likely to get a good or bad result against any of them. It’s so annoying that everyone seems to hit form just before we play them though - City looked back to their best yesterday.
The problems are Big Sam parking the bus and getting 1-0 wins. Burnley investment pulling them away from us. A gap that is growing above us with hard games on the way. We have to hope Fulham and Shef U stay as they are and then we fight to avoid the remaining place.

Defending is comical but not in a funny way
Burnley take over has gone through. West Brom have Big Sam and no doubt cash in January. Tony needs to join in to catch some of the teams like Newcastle and Palace!
First half good movement but no cutting edge again. Second half - we were never going to score. Burn - what was he doing? His fault or was he told to be so out of position? Bernardo - not good enough. Veltman is no wing back - slow and passes back. AJ should have scored 2 or 3, and didn’t. Why...
