I'm a bit confused about us at the moment, great results against poor sides but I don't think we're all that good yet.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] How close is this squad to being top 4?

You can feel a special Band of Brothers spirit is developing amongst the group.
Did you see the high five Veltman gave Minteh when he tracked back to help defend a break from Garnacho.
Rutter is going to be a cheerleader too. All the squad will be busting a gut to start in this team.

Yes, it's a great start, against a surprisingly poor (given their end of season home record) Everton side, and today could easily have gone either way.

strong and stable with me, or...
I know what you mean, but I wouldn’t describe it as confused.
New young manager at the helm getting used to English football and a new squad. Us with players returning from long injuries and new players. The confusing thing would be if we simply hit the ground playing well.
As it is, we’re looking motivated, organised, hungry and a bit more clinical. Going to need some time before we fully see FH’s vision for how the team will play I think.

Utd aren’t a poor side just badly managed, I thought first half they were better on the ball than us.
Indeed - nick 3 points from the Arse and it's City's for the taking.

Up until our first goal, United pressing and passing was way better than ours. It changed after the goal, helped by Mount going off at half then followed by Fernandes. Strange decisions.
I've been living the dream since the 60's - I'm certainly not getting carried away after two wins - or even three, if we beat Arsenal.Come on mate blimey reality sucks arse we could be living the dream here

Early days I know but from the snapshot we’ve seen thus far, I believe we are a little closer to having a top 4 squad than I initially thought.
We have good upgrades to come in at fullback once Pervis and Ferdi are fit and further strength to return to both the wings and in central and attacking midfield too.
I also think that we haven’t completely clicked in to gear yet either and thus there is more to come from those already fit.
Exciting season ahead…

I think this is a top four squad, but it’s a little underripe.
This is a learning/gelling season, we haven’t had any kind of poor run yet, and it’s how managers react in adversity that is where they earn their money. Get the new boys settled in as part of the squad, everyone singing from the same hymn sheet, and I personally believe we’re good to go.
I don’t agree that we’re short in centre-mid or central defence, though if Hummels were to come in at CB, that’s an undoubted upgrade in cover at CB. Who would you drop though? Our starting two are superb.

Not top four IMO. Top ten certainly only for.

If Man city get a lumpy points deduction a run at the title is on imo.
We are not in top form yet with 8 new players to bed in and a few injured returning and yet we have more than held our own against a couple of "Big" teams.
