Yeah. Anything from 2nd to 4th is a good result and definitely achievable.
We've gotten Arsenal, City and Liverpool out of the way and we're 5th in 8 games, so your predictions looking pretty strong. To be honest if we improve or at the very least play at our potential without any major injuries, we should do even better than that.
Agree let's see after we've played Chelsea and spurs who are the others in the contest for 2nd to 4th.
Hopefully we can of course but City will obviously be above us, and then probably three of Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool
As I say, two of which we've beaten already. I'm confident against anyone at home, not said that for a while... although of course Brighton was an abberation...
But he inherited a better squad than Erik
Why would there have been a penalty decision in the Everton game??
Not at all. They were far better than us last season and reached two finals. They won the Champions League the year before.
I don’t think we are miles apart from each other right now. Mainly because I’m still not convinced we have enough goals in our side. But in terms of patterns of play and controlling games, we are looking much better than you, for now at least. What’s going to be a determining factor on finishing positions this year is going to be who can get going quickest from the WC. I suspect a few teams will restart slowly.
Good man.
Probably the only team to of played all 3 to be fair.
Ye I think we can beat Chelsea, spurs and we’ve already beaten arsenal and Liverpool. Just city that are the ones to beat… they’ll eventually storm the league once arsenal start dropping off. I fancy us to give city a good game at old Trafford though, ten Hag will know what to change after the first game against them.
Lots of teams have played Arsenal so far, only one has beaten them, and beaten them fairly comprehensively....
True… although the score line doesn’t really show the actual game, they outplayed us for most of it and we countered. But I absolutely agree with you, we shouldn’t fear anyone ever no matter who the opponent is. We should go into every game confident. It all comes down to confidence and team work, with that we can match anyone and beat anyone.
I wouldn't say that Arsenal outplayed us, I would say our tactics worked perfectly, we outplayed them according to how we set up to play the game.
Why would you think that Liverpool "could recover"??
Freak referee decisions are by definition unjustified by the observed facts on the pitch. When a side launches ball after ball into the box in open play or on set pieces there’s always physical contact, thus opening the door for a horror referee decision to award a pk.
Based upon their performance over the past 6 and a bit years under Klopp. They have been very poor this season, but they still have a lot of quality.
They’ve only played spurs and Liverpool though, Liverpool who are massively out of form for whatever reason and a spurs team that can easily be beaten. I hope I’m wrong but I think city will wipe the floor with them and Chelsea will probably beat them too.
There is always a chance of anything happening, there was the same chance of Everton getting this mysterious penalty, as there was of Haaland getting sent off early on in the game.
How is what Liverpool did under Klopp 6 years ago relevant to here in 2022??
We must have been watching different games. We played to our strengths in terms of hitting them on the break but they showed much more quality on the ball than us and after they equalized they were the better team for a while. It's not really surprising, they're in their 3rd or 4th season with Arteta, and his style is starting to show.
