Yeah, we cannot read too much into what happened so far, various things gonna happen. Tight calendar, pretty tough away fixtures as well before Christmas, to make guarantess in UCL you need to play more games than last season, we gonna loose some points.

But all in all team deserves great appreciation. We have been severely hit with Rodri injury. People complain KDB is regularly out and ageing, but hes gonna take this break really well. Hes a game changer, hes always been.

We lead the table now and already are 4 pet in. Players and staff are always there, competing, challenging. May say that the dedication is the least you have to expect from top level footballers, but its easier said than done when margins are so close, requirements so exorbitant.
 
Looks like its down to last years top 4 and Chelsea.
Any of these teams could go on a sustained winning run.
Ourselves and arsenal look weaker than last year, liverpool much the same but villa and especially Chelsea look much better than last season.
Squad size and player availability may be the deciding factor.
Unless we can get a fully functioning KDB back and a positive contribution from Echeverri and Bobb after Xmas, we may fall short.
Pep has to take a chance on fringe players like McAtee and Nunes at every available opportunity. Southampton yesterday was an ideal opportunity to start McAtee. If you can't get a decent run out against the bottom team, what chance is there against better opposition.
I know the chelsea squad size was a bit of a laugh but this may be a deciding factor. Several players , including the likes of Palmer, are not involved in the European matches and there has to be some advantage in that.

No chance Chelsea win the title

Don’t think either are at their best. The issue we have is that we’re not as defensively sound without Rodri or as creative without KGB or Rodri. If we can fight through to January and get KDB back soon plus add someone like Zubimendi we would be well set to challenge on every front.

When is Putin due back for us?

I’m starting to get a little concerned that we might not have our customary Autumn blip…

I wouldn’t say that just yet. Bournemouth and Brighton away aren’t easy games. We’ve got some awkward fixtures coming up. Get through the next four with three wins and a draw and we’ll be in a good position.
