Interesting. When we're losing the detractors are on here like a shot. Currently 5-0 up and not a whisper. Hmmm. 
Detractor is a rather disingenuous term, Ray. Shall we just squeeze our eyes tight shut and hope when we open them everything will be OK again?
Our problem hasn't been with teams who perform like Swansea did against us, as Norwich will attest. If we'd have defended just a touch better against Arsenal we'd be just 2 points off them, though they'd have a game in hand, instead of 5 and possibly 8 after their game in hand.
Not conceding goals do make a real difference over the course of a season.
Still, we beat the team that was put out in front of us comprehensively, and Coutinho's hinting that he could be an excellent addition in combination with Suarez and Sturridge. Massive shame for Borini dislocating his shoulder and now missing the rest of the season. He seems destined not to get a chance to prove if he can make it here.
Now we need the Russians to suffer travel sickness.
