nufc123 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Its early in the season and some teams will come good, but they all seem to struggle with different issues. Chelsea lack pattern and is still a question mark. Liverpool have problems in defence and midfield but probably the best attack out of all the top teams bar City. Arsenal dont have big issues but lost controll against Fulham. Manu have a lot to do. Spurs and City look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Big game tomorrow - even bigger after today. Arsenal, Brighton and arguably Man United have all dropped points unexpectedly and if we win we'd have taken 6 points from two of our other champions league rivals. It's obviously early doors but go into the games where we're expected to take maximum points after already taking points off all our competitors and we can be super confident. Losing tomorrow would be a massive boost for Liverpool too in my opinion. Cannot see Chelsea picking up the pace enough until they're already too far behind but Spurs are looking steady at present. Fancy it to be wide open this year though until around the 35/36 game mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Us, West Ham, Brighton, Man United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Chelsea. The fight is going to be absolutely insane this season for 3rd-4th(5th). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 We'll have to perform extra special this season, we saw last season how Liverpool and Man U, the nation's favoured northern teams* got extra points throughout the season as a result of their blessed status, now we are seeing already how marginal decisions will be weighted in their favour, winning them points they haven't really earned. I said in another thread I had no idea how Man U ended up in the CL, I think today's game shows exactly how. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Watching some of the highlights from our last season, I’m struggling to believe we can get anywhere near that this season.

Some of our performances, goals and wins were unbelievable. Someone change my mind please! Pretty easy that. Remember the start of the season where we drew a number of games and lost others unluckily, De Bryune's eye of a needle pass for City to equalise and Isak's offside goal and the extra, extra, extra time winner for Liverpool stand out for example. Also the January to March period where we just couldn't score. A rub of the green here, a bit more quality there from new signings/players getting better and we win those games. I also think we hit the bar and post more than any other team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if they manage 70 points. To be fair though, squad strength is only one factor of what needs to be in your favour to maintain top four form. Luck, injuries, amount of fixtures, etc being others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our performances, goals and wins were unbelievable. Someone change my mind please! Why would that mean that we couldn’t do it again though? Appreciate the extra games with CL point but there is no reason in my mind why the unbelievable performances, goals and wins aren’t the new baseline (and have been for a while). I also question when pundits etc. claim that we’re “over performing”… We’ve been performing at that level too consistently and for too long for it to not be based on true ability and proper training and preparation. It obviously won’t be easy and it isn’t a given but I would love and ‘expert’ in the media to tell me how you break through ‘over performing’ to something being the new norm. We’ve further strengthened the squad, we’re constantly improving so bring the challenge on again Edited August 27, 2023 by Robson Wonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
