People talking about Rooney being the only issue just annoys me. Darmian blew us the game against Arsenal.

People will inevitably blame the Arsenal performance but I think it goes back to when Shaw got injured. He looked shaky in the next game as he was asked to play a little more attacking to make up for the missing Shaw on the other hand, and he ended up being subbed then. We had a couple of easy wins before Arsenal where he didnt have to do much but in the Arsenal match he was totally at sea and at fault for the early goals.

Darmian was poor but some of the blame has to go to LVG for playing Carrick & Schweinsteiger together and getting them to push up and press.

Has any team in on Chelsea's points made 4th by the end of the season?

According to Opta, "only one side in PL history has finished in the top 6 having taken 11 points or fewer from their 1st 12 games – Villa in 03/04. Uphill." This situation is sort of unique though.
