It's easier to fight till the end when you're the best team in the Premier League, but sadly that ship has since sailed. Chelsea bought well in the summer and now we're hoping that they slip up rather than expecting it.
We desperately need Bony to hit the ground running and give everyone a lift. Otherwise we're drifting towards mediocrity, looking lethargic with Yaya and worse without him. The team isn't evolving and our best performers are still the players who've been at the club for four years or more. Virtually every signing since 2012 hasn't improved the team.
I'm all for positive thinking, but not when you concede from a set piece four games running. That's sloppy and dare I suggest that if it continues we need to be looking at our coaching structure because complacency is rearing its ugly head.
