That's the frustration for me... for all the people saying 'we'll beat the mid-table sides', that's great and in my view true, but if we want to break into the top 7 and attain a European place, we have to pick up some points against the top 6, so we can't regard them as free hits.
Liverpool at home was a game that should have yielded at least a point, they're not that good - and all the time we're continually losing these games, we're consigning ourselves to mid-table mediocrity at best.
