The reason we are top of the league, have had a stunning run of form and are still fighting on four fronts is because we were never as bad as people made us out to be last season or early on this season and that applies today.
What we do have is a a few bad habits, if you will, that crop up when we lose; some of which is just law of averages: you will have days when the ball just won't go in and you will sometimes get caught on the break or make defensive mistakes or catch a team on a day when they score with (almost) every attempt. On days when those things combine, we lose.
We have done a lot to combat the problem of conceding on the counter attack but today made at least three consecutive errors (now unusual) on their first goal and went to sleep on their second, that was the biggest sin of the day.
In the summer, we need to make two or three transfer moves that genuinely raise the quality in the team and that will help raise other players' games; especially if we buy a clinical finisher. It's on the club to give Pep that boost to this squad.
