think you were right to say that last season and am not surprised by the reaction you got.At the moment and looking at the way they play and their form I think we will struggle to get anything when we play them.
A difficult first 11 games, with City next next followed by what should be a slightly easier run of games.
Play to their strengths which is working for them. May not be the prettiest football but I think they'll last the course and challenge for top 6
I agree about Bournemouth. Not so sure about Forest.
There is also a strong case to say that the current league table reveals each club's true standing in top flight football in England, give or take a place or 2.
Yes maybe I’ve given them a bit to much credit but they are doing pretty well
Could be if we don't beat City next weekend
. Need to beat that lot so gap doesn't get too wide with Liverpool!
Yes agree with this. My concerns are that we have not really invested in the defence (shame Barco was loaned out etc) as we are vulnerable in this department , especially when injuries come around. However, I think we are seeing the shaping of a top class team playing some brilliant football and capable of winning a cup but will it last with our policy of selling on our better players ?
They are a club I'm not normally that bothered about, but their current set up; Manager, massively over entitled owner, Crawley town wannabe players, the "Referee consultant " bollocks, all really gets my goat!
They do indeed it’s not easy on the eye but is still just as effective. Does seem dependant on wood staying fit and in form, I think some stats yesterday show he has 8 of there 12 goals which is the highest % of goals from one player for a team in any of the top 5 leagues at 66.66%. If those goals dry up not sure who else will step up. They will be solid at the back still
Ref is an absolute scumbag unless he isn’t
I think the Albion have proved repeatedly that we can go toe-to-toe with anybody in the top six. It's the bottom six we struggle with
Disappointing as we should be top 4. Meh.
We've also sneaked a few points that in a parallel universe we might not have: Newcastle, MU 95th minute winner, you could add arsenal in there too really - we didn't look like getting anything till the sending off (and even then could've easily still lost), spurs on another day we don't score 3 second half ...
