Think Iād rather play in here.
Can someone pop up a sign prohibiting WUMS, mood hoovers and miserable whinging bas**rds?
Top of the League.
Absolutely - well in the mix and still are not playing as well as we can.
Hendo, Naby, AOC unavailable yesterday, Lallana not back on form just yet - that's a possible starting XI midfield right there we're getting by without.
And up front Bob and Mo imho have a ways to go to match last seasons form.
And YET, we are in the top3, with flip all in it.
Yes Citeh look strong, and Chavs, but they could have a blip and we could hit our stride.
Our defence is as good as it's been in 3 decades imho, that's what has us where we are now - cause the front lads and the boys in the middle haven't gone thro all their gears yet - but I'm confident we'll get stronger as the season goes on.
Doesn't seem like that long ago we were looking at striking options from Lambert, Borini and Balotelli. We have come a sh*t LONG way. We just keep putting the minnows to the sword like we have been, when our form picks up, think we can knock over some of the bigger guns we've been drawing with.
We don't quite have the squad depth of City, so need to watch injuries when pushing in the CL and FA cup, along with PL. Would expect to see more of the squad lads in the FA cup though.
JĆ¼rgen has done brilliant, might be good to bring in someone in Jan window if we're still not firing, though he doesn't tend to often do that - still, VVD was a pretty decent signing.
We have a side capable of winning the league imho - and the CL - though we need to hit better form soon, and maybe have a bit of better luck with injuries.
