We dont score enough goals to mount a serious challenge to Arsenal and Chelsea. We have only won 10 league games all year which is terrible at this stage of the season. Personally im hoping for double cup glory, my heads says we fill finish 6th above Newcastle, my heart hopes we finally pull our fingers out go on a run wins and climb the table, eventually taking the 4th spot, but whenever i watch us play that seems less and less likely.

it is interesting that you say that. apart from Man City, we are the only team who remains unbeaten at home this season, and hopefully it remains that way.
the problem we have is that the players are not hungry, ruthless and determined enough. but that's the problem with most players from smaller club - when a bigger team buys them, they might think they have made it, and they might rest on their laurels or have nothing to prove anymore. this is all hypothetical but when i look at someone like Downing, it justifies my stance.
if the players were more clinical and had more desire to kill teams off at home at least, i am certain we would have at least another 8 points in the bag. sad to say, 4 players who actually have the correct mentality and desire aren't the future of the club - Gerrard, Bellamy, Carra and Kuyt - considering their age.

That's just it we are lacking that innovation in the final 3rd. We could go the rest of the season unbeaten at home and yet still finish 6th or 7th. Generally our squad is lacking a lot of technical ability, players with the ability to break down teams and until we get that 4th place is a dream
