Multiple teams look like a huge points hual, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. I think this is a season with low points at bottom half and 6 or so teams at top miles ahead. We can't afford any more dropped points so early in seson after those last two lossesI would prefer we didn't get our third loss this early in the season.
We had three losses all of last season. We may end up having more margin for error as the season goes along as no team looks like a juggernaut right now, but I rather not test the limits right now.
All this shit in here about “Pep learning”, fucks sake he is a wonderful manager, maybe the best in history, every team loses the odd game, particularly against another top side, it has always happened and always will, that’s life/football. Personally the last thing I want is Pep learning any of the shit posted in hereHope Pep has learnt from Arsenal.
No dicking around, get back to basics, stuff the starting XI with treble winners and smash them. Bring the newbies off the bench as needed.
Spurs, LiVARpool and Arsenal all win, we musthave a feeling this is one of those rounds where all rivals/bigger teams round the top will get a win, Spurs, Chelsea, Pool, Arsenal before we start our game.
so it will be horrible round to the rags or us. as I can see Pool or Arse to go to old toilet later on and get a win we should do it too.
as of today we are 6 points worse off than last season fixture to fixture, this is a fixture we lost last season so here is a chance to improve on that.
I think we need to be really bad to lose this game, missing good chances and conceding from half chances at the back. (to be fair that keeps happening, often with first shot on target from opponents)
dont forget refereeing, last year it played major role in our loss here, dont expect it to be any better. what we need to make sure dont drop our heads even if ref is fucking us or we concede one make sure we dont concede another one quickly after that.
we dont have that kind of top form in scoring to rip teams apart with 4/5 goals, if we concede two possibly we dont win.
Sounds like Wan-Bissaka is back for them, but Casemiro is a doubt.
