we have ridden our luck a fair bit this season and got results in games where we were actually being overrun for most of the game (Liverpool away, Everton away, Baggies away, Chelsea at home). Because we got results in those games everyone was happy to say we were playing great.
Yesterday I thought we actually controlled the game far better than in any of those games and going forward in this league I am convinced we will get better results playing like we did yesterday than we will if we play like we did in the games mentioned above. We can't keep relying on luck and opponent's bad finishing and then scoring from virtually our only chance (eg Everton in particular). We just needed a bit more quality in the final third yesterday but overall I thought we were really professional.
