Was about to post something very similar. Amazing how we didn't really dominate possession in many games last season yet still should have won the league.
I think Chris Hughton will be using all his tactical acumen next season to get the points required to stay up. I can't see us being gung-ho...
I reckon there are about 13 teams in the Premier League planning to play counter-attacking football next year (including us)! Could make for some extremely exciting, or very dull, games depending on who's playing who.
