Currently on goals scored we're second in the league, on goals conceded we're joint 16th !
Unless our defence tightens up we'll finish a disappointing 5th .
I was going to post this same thing yesterday, and it about sums us up. Happily we are on a +goal difference which we did not achieve last year until game 30 (or something like that). I read an article about how we may score 100 goals this season but rather than two players (Suarez and Sturridge) they spread out the goals throughout the team and it was not as far fetched as it may seem. If we can somehow cut out the silly errors we may have a team that can truly challenge. As a team we are better that when Suarez was here. Big match on Friday against a team that gives little away so it will be interesting how we get on.
