Including their opponents so far. Any way we slice this at all, we are incomparably stronger than them yet we are points adrift and scraping results against the likes of Swansea.
If we are going to win the league it's going to take more than the return of two players.
It's going to take guts, determination, courage and intelligence. Not least from the manager.
We've seen none of these qualities from the team, except in brief flashes.
Yes, we can win the league. It's a question of when the players and the manager wake up and realise it's not going to be easy and that everyone has to do a lot better than they have been. We can't rely on Leicester collapsing or Arsenal losing form.
Watching recent games; and that includes to last soft underbelly and toothless display, there's little cause for optimism. I'm looking for something much better in the next few games as a sign the penny has dropped.
