James Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Traditionally the best time to play Man City and Liverpool. Fixture list clearly set up to get Howe sacked but he’ll ride through it. think it would be sensible in the first two games to play the 22/23 first team as far as possible.

The Prophet Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 We took four point from those fist four fixtures last year. Plenty of room for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Actually looking at it, the first 10 fixtures are set up pretty decent. After the tough 4 games the next 6 are all very winnable, plus we're arguably playing the best 2 teams in the league at the best time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 we play 5 From the top 8. Bring it on, Eddie will have us catching pigeons from the first game, We are ready to stand toe to toe with them all now. HWTL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Don't think that's bad at all tbh. Playing those teams early on is the best time to play them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure could've been a softer start but we're fucking good! Love the half 5 Saturday kick off at home to start as well. Why would Villa be clear favourites? Should be confident of dispatching Villa at home if we have any aspirations of being a top 4 team again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'm actually quite happy with them - I'd definitely rather play Man C and Liverpool as early as possible. Villa (H) and Brighton (A) is difficult but winnable. However there's no doubt in my mind that they've tried to stitch us up. In fact I'm convinced.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's a great start thinking about it more. Two teams who will likely finish higher than us but we'll be looking to push, and two teams who'll be trying to push us but who we should be finishing ahead of. Brilliant test.

Bally21 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Tough opening 4 games, but next 6 pretty decent - best time to play city away and Liverpool at home. Bit of a cliche but we have to play them all home and away at some point. It is what it is. First four champions league fixtures are followed by away PL fixtures could be seen as a bad thing - but so f*cking what - its only an issue because we are in the f*cking champions league in the first place!!!

Geordie Ahmed Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Tough start but I'd actually prefer that, firstly I think it's better to play sides like City/Liverpool early and secondly I'd rather play them and not then have a CL game to also factor in Not looked in detail yet but I presume our fixtures around the CL games are kinder?

Beren Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Depending on what Howe's approach is going into next season, you'd think a rampant press and having more stamina than the other team will be less effective early doors - as everyone ought to be relatively fresh. I think we'll be alreet though. They'll be upset to be facing Newcastle, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Already nervous about every single game on that list. It’s the good nerves though, the feeling of winning rather than wondering where the 40 points will be coming from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitude20 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 With those early important games (the 1st four games are all our rivals), I think it really matters if the new players join earlier in the window and play those games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
