Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Newcastle in point CBLUE but perhaps only Newcastle and Liverpool given the circumstances were games where we should have won and at least drawn respectively.
Not sure what the abuse part of your post has to do with struggling from positions where we need more mental and physical steel especially in midfield which would improve our chances of getting points from games we fall behind in CBLUE.
I never abuse players on thid forum , I only state whether I believe they add value to the side or not.
Unlike many I never believed ( I may still be proven wrong and I hope I am ) that we would go anywhere near emulating our home form of last season this season and in fact said so before the start of the year ( no brain surgery required there ) and given our form of the latter half of last season felt we would struggle to pick up a significant number of away wins particularly in the early part of the season.
I think top ten would be an excellent finish but I doubt we can achieve that this season , you have intimated that with Hughes at the helm we could go under this season , I think that is possible but I would be astounded that our club with its resources and current squad would allow that to happen.
To me it would be like the squad wanting to undermine Hughes position on purpose on mass almost even if they knew his tactics and selections were not best for the team , they should be smart enough and have enough character to overcome his weaknesses.
