Need it with Chelsea and Arsenal back to back
The season really starts after this international break. Hopefully we can get some injured players back and we will be ready to take them all on.
I fancy us to beat Arsenal, they look vulnerable to counter attacks and I think we can hurt them. Chelsea I'm not so confident about, but no reason why we can't win that one either really. An opportunity to open up a gap on them both.
We need to up our game massively to get anything out of either.
I think they will be saying the same about themselves to be honest. Arsenal especially.
So will they, hence why we’re 3 points ahead of Arsenal (and they’re lucky to have that many points) and only 1 off Chelsea.We need to up our game massively to get anything out of either.
I just think their attacking options and ability to rotate puts them in a strong position, in cup games the defence can be exposed but it would take something exceptional for a team with CL distractions to put them under any kind of pressure where they may choke, especially if they are involved late on in the CL and put their eggs innyhst basket.I think City are not as good as last season or as good as ‘pundit land’ prattles on about.

Their ability to buy top players and not use them like Otamendi is where their wealth tips the balance. Thier squad depth and quality is where they put ‘normal teams’ in the shade. But I’m not seeing a Barcelona mkII in thier pomp or anything like that quality. Pep must be getting ready to retire and play golf probably once they win the champions league.
Sterling looks fantastic.
If they're 'pretty descent', on that scale the rest of us are bang average.I agree with “pretty descent” and so they should be.
But not as good as they probably should be with thier resources.
I seem to say it every week, but I'm not sure how much longer the Fulham coach will last -- they have spent over £100m in the summer to produce the worst performing team in the league. They are so soft.
Everton play some decent stuff. Just need to tighten up.
Horrible brickclams aren't they
I really like Lookman
Its self destructive, I cant fathom what he is thinking.
They have a pretty decent squad, when you look at it. Good enough to stay up. And yet look at them!?
Why isnt he just working on keeping it tight, with a settled side?
