How would you rate the last weeks results?

In theory, if you're consistently outplaying the opposition then you tend to win far more games than you don't. You can always get bad luck, especially against other teams, but over the long run you win out. Unless you're extremely unlucky.

That's been the driving factor in our league successes under Pep. We're consistently better than the weaker teams, so we almost always beat them and build up these impressive win streaks in the process. That's why when we play well but drop points to weaker sides in the past, it was never too concerning. Because you know that in the future the results will start to be fairer to the performances.

What's interesting in the past week is that we went away to three of the most in form and strongest teams in Europe, all back to back, and for the most part outplayed them all fairly notably. If we play like that against every big side we face this season (without having to worry about playing them all away consecutively) then we're in for a great time. This is a new development too. We've never really dominated teams this good in this way before so consistently.

As for the results, only the PSG one is disappointing. But thankfully it's the most likely to be insignificant in the long run.
 
Results out of context 6, results in the context of performances 4.

The performances warranted 3 comfortable wins, to get 1 win 1 draw and a defeat out of that isn't great.

And for those thinking that's low, 3 wins is a 10, 2 wins and a draw in Paris warrants a 9, 2 wins 8, win and 2 draws 7, win, draw and loss makes 6.
 
We have played maybe the three best club sides (excluding City) in the world away from home and outplayed all three. All the results didn't go our way but our performances have been tremendous. I honestly believe that if we get Haaland then we could be unstoppable.
 
After playing Chelsea and Liverpool away, we got 4 points.
Liverpool had 2 draws in that period and Chelsea the one win.
We actually pulled back 2 points on Liverpool and 1 on Chelsea. That can't be bad.
PSG were knackered after playing us and even with Di Maria back in the team, alongside Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they also lost today to Rennes.
Could end up being a good week in the end.
 
Very happy for tye rest of the season.

Fair reffing would have produced WDW...as it was we still got WLD.

Try as they might we're into the second of 3 fucking international breaks 2 points off the top. I'd have taken that at the start of the season with no warm-up at all.

We still lack a clinical finisher but obviously replacing a legend like Sergio is nigh on impossible.

Any reasonable striker would score for us.
A modern day Robbie Keane or Jermaine Defoe would be putting away the chances today or Bernardos attempt against PSG. There has to be someone somewhere?
It doesn't have to be a Kane or a Haaland.
 
I’m going to say what majority of Bluemooners will say Rubbish, Pep out , we need a Striker ( even tho we Havant had 1 for 2 seasons)

Just not sure I understand the lack of playing time for Torres in the last couple of games. Was playing well in the middle of the front line and that's what we've been crying out for in the last couple of games. Has he done something to upset Pep?

Everyone who was at the Euros is getting a bit of a rest. Only Dias, Walker and Laporte haven’t had one yet. They will.
