Some tough games in there.

The Europa might give us a little solace!

 

[sammsky1]

Europa might be OK, but all the PL fixtures except Norwich have banana potential, including a spanking by Liverpool, and Chelsea could easily beat us in EFL cup.

Have no idea where we end up on 3rd November but Im not optimistic. We don't have the quality or depth to deliver consistency.

 

[charlenefan]

In isolation the EL and LC games can be lost without any real consequence (other than going out of the competition in the LC's case) but combine that with more than 2 defeats in the league and Ole will surely be out of a job

 

[el3mel]

Shite. They're all away bar one game which is Liverpool.

I'm not looking forward to this, at all.

I think we need to get to minimum of semi finals of both cups, to demonstrate progress.

[hobbers]

Think we'll win the European ties and lose every other game. Maybe sneak a draw from Bournemouth or Newcastle.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Thank feck 6/7 away

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Rinse, repeat the last 7 games! Expect no miracles here, if lucky might scrape a couple of 1-0 but otherwise bleak outlook.

We really could without those games. Squad is too thin

Norwich will be fired up and i wouldnt be surprised if we dont win there. They havent been great lately but are better at home against good opposition.

Bournemouth not a November fixture?

Is my thinking as well

EL is becoming more and more important but the domestic cups can feck off, we're not winning them given the importance City place on them so the extra games become an inconvenience other than giving minutes to the likes of Gomes and Greenwood

and this was Jose last season:









Funny how things change. Yet both infuriating.

Not sure what you mean by that, you think Norwich will be easy or do you mean Norwich will actually go into that as slight favourites given they beat Man. City and nearly drew with Chelsea on home turf?

Anyway Newcastle is certainly easier away game than either Norwich or Bournemouth I think as both those teams have the attacks to push you on the back foot quite a bit.

 

[Samid]

The way we're playing it doesn't really matter where the games are.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Feels like years ago when we last won a game. Can see about 5 or 6 losses here.

Only assume your saying this for less expense

Its far better to look toothless, clueless, souless away from home.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

There's a serious chance we don't win a single Prem game.

If so, it should be the end of OGS.

 

[fergiesarmy1]

Ah, I have a mate who sulks when we got a crappy home draw in the league cup or something as he knows it’s gonna cost him under that automatic ticket scheme.

 

[Kush]

Every PL game is a potential banana skin, don't even know what to expect really.

I fear we'll descend even further down the table.

 

[Infra-red]

Three wins from that lot I reckon.

That’s also my problem. I’m not confident about any of them. Or I’m more confident we’ll be toothless and ordinary rather than have enough quality to win.

DLLLLLL

 

[Bojan11]

Not like we been great at Old Trafford.

 

[freeurmind]

Not like we been great at Old Trafford.

Our away form is even worse though.

 

[Irwin99]

How are AZ? I imagine a Dutch team would be a better test than Rochester or Astana

October fixtures

6 out of 7 are away. The home game is vs Liverpool.

03/10 Alkmaar (Europa Away) They are in good form (just one point off league leaders Ajax) 1-1
06/10 Newcastle (PL Away) Bruce will have Newcastle fired up for this game 1-1
20/10 Liverpool (PL Home) 0-1 Liverpool win with a either a goalkeeper error or dodgy penalty
24/10 Belgrade (Europa Away) 2-0 long trip and half arsed performance produces a deserved defeat
27/10 Norwich (PL Away) Still smarting from that Belgrade defeat and loss 3-1
29/10 Chelsea (EFL Away) decent showing but knocked out on penalties
02/11 Bournemouth (PL Away) a score draw 2-2

 

[peridigm]

4pts PL
6pts EL
Knocked out of the cup

 

[Castia]

Newcastle are absolutely dreadful surely we’re going to beat them?

That game aside I can’t see us getting much from the rest, Ole will be under huge pressure come November.

We couldn’t even beat Huddersfield under their hopeless manager. Lost to Cardiff at home, so it wouldn’t surprise me if we lost to Newcastle.
