[Axel Freed]

That’s true a lot of the teams around us have played each other we played no one who’ll be going for the title

There have been no games between title contenders thus far this season

Thankfully the fixture list has been kind to us with all our injuries and Peps issues. But now it's getting serious we need to get the injured players because we have a tricky run of fixtures coming up. It doesn't help that the teams around us are in good form right now.

Pep said before the season he is happy if we are not too far off from the top come end of December, kind of can see now why he said it, I expect us to drop quite a few points as we start to play some top 8 teams.
he said that before we knew KDB will be out most of the first 20 rounds of PL.

we started off well, but mostly against the dross. the next 7 league games is significantly harder than the first 7 was. honestly can see us not getting more than 12-13 points from that 21. something like 1 or losses and 2 or draws easily in that run if we are not firing on all cylinders.

any talk us walking away with it, wish it was the case, probably with a better transfer window of us getting Bellingham (or Rice) we would have been closer to that and with KDB not being out so much, will be a big fight as Pool is stronger this season much more than last year, and can see Arsenal going hard again with a better squad than last year.
Spurs is surprisingly good so far, hope its not something they can build on up until January because if they do well they dont have any extra games and will be more fit than rivals.
at least United and Chelsea are utter shit.

next 7 league games starts with Arsenal away, huge fixture, Pep does not want to lose this to give Arteta belief, and momentum after the Community shield fluke loss.
problem is Gundo, KDB, Rodri trio is not available. neither Bernardo.
last year they would have all started this fixture.

I always think if we within 3/6 points with 8 games left it's there for us to win! It's only the Liverpool season where they won by a massive margin and pep first we not won't it..

Do you seriously think at least one of spurs arsenal or Liverpool won't be near the top come the end of the season?

That remains to be seen if Spuds slip into the picture. I think the current top four may well fight it out over the season with City, Arsenal or the Dippers most likely to prevail.

We played against Newcastle , the only one top contender , between the clubs we played

Liverpool had ; Chelsea away ,Spurs away , Newcastle away - I would say the hardest ones
Arsenal - Spurs home

 

[Blue and still suffering]

We have some good results without being at our best. Injuries, bedding in new players and one or two not fully firing yet have added to that. Also take into account the short pre season which hasn't helped. If we can get through October without losing in the league then we can start to move forward.
Added to this apart from 17/18 we have always been better in the second half of the season when it really matters.
