Results comparison with last season....

[thundaheed]

We got nothing from the top 8 last season so its good to get a win at the rags. What was the points total from the 14 games against top 8 last season?

7 points I think, only beat Soton at home and got home draws with United, Arsenal and away draws with Leicester and West Ham

The Swansea game should also reveal our intentions in respect to the domestic cups and how much of the squad Pep intends using.

When we can start, Yaya, Delph, Fernando, Gundogan, Kelechi, Sane and probably Vinny
Seven players there who would be immediate starters for the vast majority of Prem league teams

We need to start keeping clean sheets now,i saw a table on here here of goals scored and let in by pep and the goals against was really low for the whole season,that must be driving him mad

Comparison of results is going well - as it obviously would with a 100% record. Don't forget that we won the first 5 last season as well, and were looking very good at that stage - but not THIS good! We're 8 points better off on the comparable fixtures from last season:-

Last season, beat Sunderland at home 2-0 = 0 points
Lost at home to West Ham 2-1 = + 3 points
Lost at Stoke 2-0 = + another 3 points
Drew at the swamp 0 - 0 = +2 points

BMC was the last group game last season, and was a 4-2 win. (Beat them 2-1 away as well)
Bournemouth at home last season was a 5 -1 win

We were under the guidance of a well-meaning but totally inept manager last season. That we won so many games at the start was down to desire by individual players on our side and had nothing whatsoever to do with Pellers.

Mid-season Pellers lost virtually the entire locker room - I think that Hart was still totally into the games, desiring to win every one; probably Zaba too. But everyone else... just gave up. No motivation whatsoever. Totally the fault of Pellers.

This year we have the best manager in world football coaching our side. Not only is he a tactical genius, he's also tremendous at identifying talent, and at dramatically improving a player's skill.

That we have started so well has surprised me. I thought that we'd struggle for 2 months or maybe more adapting to Pep's system.

That we are playing so well so early on is yet another testament to Pep's genius.

The fuck is that?

 

[Plain Speaking]

I think we have got to be careful not to get carried away. Almost all the teams we have played have this season have been struggling in other games. West Ham, Sunderland and Stoke are all in the bottom four and the rags were lucky to get 3 PL wins before us. We have played some great football but our defence has been suspect.

Some other PL teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs are looking a lot better this season.

The fucking truth, idiot! Are you another Pell not Pep loser?
