You are right. It’s not as simple as just Rodri.

We’ve lost 2 in a row for the first time in 5 years. We’ve got Rodri coming back (red was stupid but rather now than business end of the season, glad that he got a rest), Stones playing so we’re only missing Kev. Haaland will probably score a few on international break and get his confidence back. Arsenal really weren’t great and this is their biggest game of the season. If Hwang was sent off then we’d actually be 1 point better off than last year.
Liverpool are vulnerable defensively, Arsenal aren’t as good as last year. Once Haaland starts firing (he’s averaged a goal a game for the past 5 year), we’ll be golden.

Two losses in five years Just goes to show how phenomenal we’ve been. Thanks for the reality check. Got a feeling that when Kev comes back the whole team will be lifted.We’ve lost 2 in a row for the first time in 5 years.

wolves and arsenal away we won both last year, so six points down on corresponding fixtures.
This can only mean we’re finally winning away at spurs and the mersey cult shit tip this season

It is my opinion. Certainly under Pep, as long as we are never further away, then I am always hopeful we can do it.Where the fuck is this projected deficit coming from?...

We are already being written off and what is Stuart Pearce issue??
He's an utter **** mate, I forget he was ever part of our club

Means we have to win Brentford(home away) Brighton spurs away instead
I actually think it's the complete opposite, and that now more than ever we are still able to play at a high level despite missing key players.
OK, perhaps missing Rodri, as well as Kev and Stones was a bit too much, but ultimately we put in a ridiculous 1st half performance against Forest without Kev and Stones.
Rodri was a huge miss in the last 3 games on top of Kev and Stones, but I'm adamant we'd have won all 3 of those games had we had Kev and Stones and were just missing Rodri. Losing all 3 is far too much to not have an impact. Factor in missing Gundogan and Mahrez and all of a sudden half the side from last season hasn't been available for a lot of this season.
It may not be a regular occurrence, but if we manage to get a good run of games without any major injuries, we'll wipe the floor with anyone in our way.
After the international break, hopefully we'll only be without Kev, and I'm confident that a team along the lines of the below is too good to not go on a good run in the next 10 games.
Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Haaland
You'd post optimistic stuff even if we were 10 pts off the top.
We have a great squad, but most of the players have played too many games over the last 3 years or so, especially last season. They are humans, not machines.
I think we won't win 10 games in a row any time soon. We'll have some great performances followed by bad results. We are likely to improve after Christmas but we won't walk the league this season. Maybe it's going to be more difficult than last season.

Yes, I agree with that part, but I can't see us needing to do so this season...time will tell...It is my opinion. Certainly under Pep, as long as we are never further away, then I am always hopeful we can do it.
