Overall we're still not clinical enough when on top of teams. We should have never let Arsenal off home and away, but we need to find at least one really productive and creative attacker.

This is without doubt the area we need to improve in the future. The amount of times we get into great positions in the final third with men over and make either the wrong pass, or choose the right pass with poor execution had cost us.

It was a feature of the Harry era too, even with the likes of Bale, Modric, VDV etc.

I think as others have pointed out, we have been quite good against the top teams, our performances were very consistent. This team is learning all the time and have suffered together. As long as our recruitment is spot in this summer, I'm sure we'll find that next level.

We're not capable of it. Our attitudes after the games say it all. Everyone is perfectly content with drawing these games. That is the problem. Until we learn to not accept just draws in the big games, we'll always struggle to pick up 3 points in them. We need winners in this team and as fans, we need to learn to not be content with draws in these games. Especially when we should win. Like in both games vs Arsenal.

Disagree, we've dropped more than enough points and ending up drawing games to be well ahead of Leicester at this point.

Yup.
