timeEd32 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Three of our next four games are winnable, but potentially tricky away games (Forest in the cup, Wolves, and Fulham). We'll have Tonali for all of them, Schar for the latter two, and hopefully a new signing. I think that will tell us a lot about where this season is heading because it's going to be difficult to qualify for the Champions League without better performances away from home. In 2022/23 we were third in away form. Last season we were 11th (-12 points from the year before), while our home form was basically identical. We had some pretty fortunate away draws in 2022/23, but even if you take those away we still could have squeezed 4th and we were still 2-3 wins better off than last season.

We had some frustrating results pre-October in 2022-23 for some draws to clutch at. Home and away (Palace, Wolves, Bournemouth, Liverpool) but from an admittedly tiny sample size I've not seen anything remotely similar so far this season to the level of performances that we saw from 2022-23 against Forest, Man City or Liverpool. Fingers crossed that changes starting tomorrow and Sunday. Edited August 27 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not feeling confident about any away match currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 In terms of evolution, I'd like to see us keep the ball a bit more away from home. Fingers crossed, with Guehi and Tonali coming in, we'll be a bit better at this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly asked if the club was spying on Tonali to ensure he doesn't gamble. She has a very strange obsession with Tonali and should be banned from all pressers going forward.
