I am feeling good despite their one goal lead, lol
It's not negative at all, it's realistic, we've done well but our thin squad just won't cope with the run of fixtures we have in November. It doesn't bother me one bit if we end the season trophyless, I'm not that entitled and think most of us will feel the same way.That's a very negative view and I'm sure the club don't share your view. We have a bloody good track record of winning trophies no matter what odds we've had to overcome. It's not even November yet, Positive Mental Attitude required 8-)
4 aways on the trot, all of them long distance. Followed by another nonsensical international break.4 weeks until the next home match, a whole bloody month.
The fixture list is barking mad.
Our squad is not that thin. So far we are coping well. And sooner rather than later KDB is back, Grealish is back, Walker and Doku should not be out for long, Oscar Bobb shall be somewhere half the way of his rehabilitation.It's not negative at all, it's realistic, we've done well but our thin squad just won't cope with the run of fixtures we have in November.

I’d be happy with either of those. Although I think Gundo needs to be restedI think this is a game to experiment with either Stones or Gvardiol as the pivot. What I’d like too see:-
Ederson
Akanji Dias Stones Ake
Gvardiol
Bernardo Foden
Savinho Haaland Nunes
What I think we’ll get:-
Ederson
Lewis Dias Stones Gvardiol
Kovacic
Gundogan Foden
Bernardo Haaland Savinho
My guess is Pep is managing the squad with that Nov run in mind. We should see all players back bar Rodri and Bobb. Maybe Bobb back on the reckoning around Xmas timeOur squad is not that thin.

In the Premier League we are going to be in the title race. So far we know we stand in much better place than last season.

And we have few really tough games behind as, like Arsenal and many away fixtures: Chelsea, West Ham, Wolves.
In the UCL i do not see a team that is out of our reach.
So why decide to be pessimistic? Because you calling something realistic does not mean its realistic. Talk facts first, then we can judge your realistic judgment.
I'm never pessimistic but feel this is a season that will just be too tough for our thin squad, another injury to one of our senior players will test us. On Wednesday our only two unused subs were Carson and Eddie, that tells a story of its own.Our squad is not that thin. So far we are coping well. And sooner rather than later KDB is back, Grealish is back, Walker and Doku should not be out for long, Oscar Bobb shall be somewhere half the way of his rehabilitation.
