Top 6 mini league 17/18

He goes for a mentally high press and tries to create chaos that his team can then profit on, it's like an off the ball version of lumping it into the big number 9 and watching the defence panic when he gets the knock down. There's no defensive organisation and no plan for what to do inside his own half. It's entertaining to watch, but the Bundesliga sussed it out a long time ago and its never really worked in the PL as so many teams are happy to bypass midfield.

Looked better at Dortmund for a while though as he had Wagner on his coaching staff who can definitely organise a team and a lot of leaders in defence and midfield.

Mhmm, good post
Perhaps we should call it Blitzkrieg football. They could come out to the Ramones tune.

One of them, the other day, who was being very complimentary about City tbf, then said to me "imagine what you'd be like if you had are attack !".

20 points further back.

Lol, we've scored 15 goals more than them against the same opposition minus Newcastle, imagine how many we'd have scored with a decent attack.

We have 15 points in the mini-league from 5 matches.

Arsenal have 6 points from 7 matches so the most they can achieve is 15 points.

One down four to go.

5 points from 6 games and they can achieve 17.

I know what you are getting at. The fact that the top 6 mini league table almost reflects the actual league positions shows the importance of these matches.

Something like this...

55 Man City
54
53
52
51
50
49
48
47
46
45
44
43
42 Man Utd
41
40
39 Chelsea
38
37
36
35 Liverpool
34 Tottenham, Arsenal
33

Arsenal can’t have played two of the other big 6 twice?

Everyone has played someone twice and not played another team, like Bournemouth.

Arsenal have still only played 6 matches against the top 6 though. Us, rags, Chelsea and spuds once, dippers twice. The poster he was replying to has them playing 7.

Arsenal haven’t played 2 of the top 6 twice. Only Liverpool.
Gray got it wrong.
