The importance of the next 7 fixtures (how many points will we be behind)

[Father Paul]

lets beat Brighton first. will be a big tactical test again vs De Zerbi. last thing we need after back to back losses is a home draw or loss.

Exactly. Beat Brighton first. If we do manage to lose this game I would start to worry a bit. Not sure the last time we lost 3 league games in a row?

Lost a game have we? Lol

Lost a game where both teams didn’t play well and didn’t deserve to win to a scabby deflected goal. FLAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!

This is like that thread on rawk. wtf!

Yes you are correct and see what I am getting at

What's your point? Even if we are 5th so bloody what? In 2013/14 we lost 4 out of our first 12 games; in 2020/21 i believe we were 10th in late Oct. In 2018/19, we were 10 pts behind Liverpool around Dec 30.

Clear WUM thread.

Harumph!

Basically we’ve played poorly but only went down to a couple of deflected goals. Quite unlucky really.

Rodri back.
Stones back.
I say a minimum of 9 from the 15.
9-13 probably.

correct

Come January and February (like every other season) I'll start to worry, or not.

2 massive home league games coming up.
6 pts from these sets us up nicely for an away fixture at one of our happier hunting grounds, Villa Park.

Yeah these 3 games against top 5/6 sides before we flirt off to the World Club thingy will if we get results set us up nicely for the new year when the title defense gets serious.
