Only bit of hope is that they have to play City Twice, and if City win both, its only 1 point in it.
Biggest thing for me is the intensity 'they' play at, not just them but most of the top sides, we seem so slow and disinterested in comparison.
Arse, City, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Utd primarily. And to a lesser degree, Brentford and Leeds come to mind.Similar to the other CL sides? Haven't seen a lot of them this year but results would seem to suggest athe other 3 at least are off where they would be usually.

Brentford have intensity as it’s long ball football to drive pressureArse, City, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Utd primarily. And to a lesser degree, Brentford and Leeds come to mind.
Liverpool have gone off a cliff, still think that was to do with them not being able to take the peds they used too (because of WC testing)Biggest thing for me is the intensity 'they' play at, not just them but most of the top sides, we seem so slow and disinterested in comparison.
If they lost say Saka, Odegaard, Gabriel, Martinelli (like us with Romero, Kulu, Richy,Bentacur) for long parts of the season they would not be top of the tableOne bright note from last night was the fact that they had no one to bring on to make any impact. They needed a goal and the only sub they made was Tomiyasu coming on at right back! They have zero attacking options on the bench. Could all change in this window but still, Shows just how lucky they have been so far this season with injuries.

And so we can all say that they came sexobd in a 1 horse race?Arteta has no shame whatsoever. I would love it, fudging LOVE it (my Kevin Keegan moment) if they collapse before the end of the season just to see his reaction.
Due to the points they've already accumulated....I'd fudge off all the other competitions this season and full focus on the league.Yep, But seems unlikely with only the PL to really worry about at the moment. We all said this squad would struggle with the extra Europa League games but hardly any of them played in those games so far. Maybe once they start drawing some tougher opponents in might cause some issues later in the season but let's see.
We'll want to get the better of City in the two upcoming games.....but we know who else will be cheering us on...it's a horrible predicament.
Neither do I generally, it's just an annoyance that the two City games are close together.Not a predicament for me at all. I don't care what other teams do.
