I totally agree. I understand the importance of positivity. But after the home games against West Ham, AEK, Fulham, Sheff Utd, and now Burnley (and near misses vs Bournemouth and Brentford), I’m detecting a pattern of us underestimating 'weaker' teams in home matches. Like you, I could take a 1-1 vs Burnley… if it wasn’t for those other matches mentioned.
But as RDZ said in his press conference after the match , if we can’t beat Fulam , Sheffield Utd , Burnley despite being much the better team in every match , we can never be a big team ,

Then perhaps balance those thoughts when we beat teams that (again, on paper) we should be losing to....yet don't.
I'm happy with where we are, yet hope for more - time will tell. We have no divine right to win a single match at all,yet we do.
Also, we haven't lost for a little while, which is worth bearing in mind.
We lost 2 weeks ago
 




I'm not happy that we failed to beat Burnley despite have 29 goal attempts. I'm surprised if any fan is happy about it.
Only annoying superfan trolls would have been happy on the final whistle today. Once again we gave a more limited team than us a foothold in the game - we got away with it on Wednesday but you can’t keep giving the opposition the initiative

Roberto is less happy than you:-
Albion had 29 shots at goal and 71% possession but only had Simon Adingra’s second-half header to show for their efforts at the Amex as they missed the chance to climb into the top five. Four of our last five home games in the Premier League have ended in draws.

“I’m frustrated and I go home to think what else we need [to do] to win the game,” he said.

“I consider my team to be very good and no one believes in my players
more than me.

“But we are not a top team yet – a top team wins against Fulham, Sheffield United and today. In those three games we deserved to win [because] we were better than the opponent."

He's frustrated and unhappy that we didn't win (all of) the aforementioned games. He's the manager, I'm a fan.
I'm happy with (as I stated) "where we are".
We *could* be higher......we *could* be lower.
Currently 8th and only four points from fourth place, at this stage? Yeah, I'm happy where we are. :)

With a fully fit squad we win those games.
Playing the strongest team at the start of the match we win those games.
He is partly at fault with his starting eleven, we know why though devil & the deep blue sea.

and I'm frustrated that we couldn't put Sheffield Utd and Burnley away despite having numerous chances to do so, especially today.
