It’s not only the points we gain but denying those teams points too and should have had 3 points v Southampton and Everton - 4 points dropped in those games.

That was what cost us last year not getting points early on (Burnley and Newcastle away come to mind) which then dropped us into the mire.
I think we may have been seduced by the performance against Chelsea, which in reality was extraordinary. If you looking at the best starting we have this season compared to last season, which would be the better team?

We are still a team that just about survived relegation, whom have lost two established quality players for some players with potential. Ok the squad overall maybe stronger but as I have suggested the starting 11 isn't yet.

Everton came to spoil, sit deep and time waste, they played for a draw. We played decent enough football without ever having a real cutting edge. Patterson the RB for Everton also had an outstanding game and kept us honest.

Definitely a game where you would hope for 3 points but you would settle for 1.

Personally happy enough with how our season is going, we are steadily picking up points and we are hard to beat.
