Is our home record against the 'big 6' and the top sides in Europe an issue or could it be one in future?
1-1 Liverpool
3-3 Spurs
1-1 Chelsea
3-1 United
0-0 Arsenal
1-1 Real Madrid
0-0 Inter
2-2 Arsenal
1 home win since the start of last season against the 'big 6' and 2 draws against the top pot CL sides we've faced - that's 1 win in 8.
In the league you can argue that we went on to win the league anyway so it wasn't an issue last season, but in the CL we struggled to break down Real Madrid and were eliminated because of it and with a similar game against Inter following the start of the new season.
Clearly this is far from disastrous, but I guess I just wondered why our home form might have just dropped off a little bit compared to the years before. Are we as creative as we used to be? Are the attacking wide players scoring enough goals? Have we got so good that the very best of the rest now resort to all out defence against us?
