Could you see Norwich taking points off of us???
You said the same last year along with some others...... do you remember our numbers after 6 games in Peps first season??
they do look better than last season...they are harder to break down again and are really grinding out results.
The one good thing today was that they blatantly ran out of steam in the last 20 odd minutes which let chelsea bak into the game....they have had sme luck with injuries to their squad as they always play the same main players without eer really rotating (in the league at least) - the front 3 and the back 4 are pretty much ever present - we have hoped it would take its tole at some point but surely they have to run out of steam at some point.....compared to us with KDB missing nearly a while season, Laporte out for 5 months, sane the same, Stones missing large chunks of last season and this one already. - all those players are key starters for us and that is not even consdeiring MEdny who for all sense of purpose has been out two years (with a few games spliting up the two injuries.
They are a solid team however an will take some beating....the rest of the league doesnt look anywhere near as strong.
Wasnt it utd that took a couple of points off them last season with a draw at the swamp.....?
