If by finishing, yes I'd agree.By lately, I was referencing our inability to find success in 6 games. While each game has specific factors that made it hard, it's my contention that our final third movement and passing has been poor since Celtics. That's the last game we played well in the final third. Spurs, Everton, Barca, Southhampton and United have all been poor in the final third.
But we've played Pep's system and have created enough chances to have won each of those games (Barca 2nd half and the most recent derby versus ManU being the exception for obvious reasons).
In a nutshell, "shit happens."
We're going to thrash someone soon - and will likely win the league.
Spurs and Pool will be our biggest challenges - as both of these teams press, and are fit, and have enough talent going forward to cause damage.
Other than that, I'd favor us against EPL opposition - against Pool and Spurs I like our chances, but it's damn close.
Pool isn't in European competition and can focus on winning the league much more than we can - and Spurs have a lot of talent. Injuries could well decide the title.
Moreover, both Spurs and Pool have outstanding managers - for my money, Pep is the best manager in world football. But Pochettino and Klopp are no slouches - they're both world class.
