Will we win the league this season? No

17 points dropped from winning positions. That's where the title was lost. Not today.

5 gained from a losing position as well are the reasons why we didn’t do it.

Still a very good season though with 2 cups, 2nd and CL football again.
 
Ultimately draws cost us. We weren’t ruthless enough in-front of of goal. We defended poorly. We lost or drew too many games in the 2nd half after being in-front at half-time.

The poor draws.

Spurs 2-2
Forest 2-2
West Ham 1-1
Everton 3-3
Bournemouth 1-1

Bar Bournemouth, we conceded 8 goals against poor and average teams.

The pundits did say we would slip up at Everton and at Bournemouth. They were right.

And I think near top of least points gained from losing positions so not great either way and still finished second and two cups! West Ham forest everton and spurs were the games that for me killed us this year 3 needless draws
 
Everton away
Forest at home
Bournemouth away (to an extent)
Brighton away (to an extent)
Chelsea at home
Brighton at home
Spurs away
Spurs at home
Sunderland away
West Ham away
Rags away

Probably loads more but that Everton game was the one. The league went that night.
 
If you take it to the last week of the season and fall just short there's no shame in that especially given the number of new signings and young players in the team and the relative lack of quality of some of our 2nd eleven

Might be our last title challenge for quite a while if the Pep rumours are true,
