Well weāre 10 games in and time for an update! Any changes i your opinions?
Whoād of thought/predicted Spurs would be top at this stage? Iāll get back to them later.
Sadly my opinion of the top two not changed, still City for me. Annoyingly so good to watch, how can fans deny their ability to hold/pass the ball better than anyone else in the league. Itās easier to get a bone off a pit bull than get the ball off these kunts. Weāve still got the worse to come! Theyāre only going to get better.
Arsenal still undefeated after 10 games tells you there no going away in this campaign. Only saving grace is my Ā£50 charity bet looking good. Que Billy Buster. 😂
3rd/4th/5th/6th May no longer be a lottery judged on the 10 games weāve all seen now.
Unfortunately ( if your a manc ) you lot looking good for a possible 3rd, 4th at worse. The thing whatās annoying (for me) is that I donāt actually think youāre playing great football when you compare with the likes of City & Arsenal 🤦āāļø solid yes but not championship level football, least not yet anyway. Can that change? course it can itās only 10 games. However, to reach Cityās level!! Youāll need a bigger boat! The January transfer window IMHO will tell you if you can mount a challenge for top 2. Hereās my problem, despite not playing like champions youāve won 7/10 and lost 1 which obviously a bone of contention as at worse should have been a draw. Arguably championship form on stats. I remember when United were at their best, played badly yet still got a result, this is exactly what you lot are currently doing. 🤦āāļø I do think your favourites to win a Cup though, be it Europa/FA Cup or Micky Mouse Cup.
So with possible one place left for CL football whereās it going? Certainty not us lot! Iāve been in the Carra camp the last week or so as found myself agreeing with much of what heās stated. Thereās no identity to them, like Carra I canāt work out how weāre playing, it makes me think I know fcuk all about football ( donāt you lot answer that one 😂 ) with all the toxic that Iāve now heard going on in the changing rooms itās not looking good, Hallelujah you cry 😂
The pending sale doing us no favours at all, the old adage of not being able to organise a p!ss up in a brewery stinks to high heaven. Losing 50% of our games says weāre not even making Europa football, god forbid we qualify for that conference sh*te, Iāll never live it down.
Candidates for 4th? I never thought Iād say this but can Spurs be ruled out? a good shout by Longy for putting them ahead of Arsenal in 3rd, still early days though. Might get shot for this but still donāt think they will get top 4. Manager deserves a whooping 10/10 for effort though and proving many doubters wrong, so far! The fact they have no European football should make me think top 4 very much on the cards. I must be missing something. 🤷āāļø
Chavs looking just as bad as United yet I still think they may come good. Brighton/Newcastle and even Villa looking like top 6 not out of their realms. Unai Emery certainly putting SG to shame with whatās basically the same side.
Another review after Christmas when we can pretty much guarantee who will be in the mix, at least for 3rd & 4th anyway.
No Red tints here, but I honestly think weāll get second at least, atm weāre ticking along nicely and like you said picking up points when weāre still in third gear, the only square peg is Macca @ 6, but I believe Andre is imminent and when he arrives and settles weāll have two for every position, without any drop in quality,
JĆ¼rgen rolled out a new midfield trio in Macca, GāBerch & Szloboslai last week and they looked like a default midfield to me, and they will just get better and better, the chemistry is there, vision, technique, passing, goals assists, and ably backed with the maturing Jones & Elliot, with Thiago the Maestro and possibly Andre, yet to feature,
The back 5, look as solid as we were when we became Champions, Virgil as good if not better, Matip, Konate, Gomez and the new kid Quansah equally impressive, add the best stopper on the planet Allison itās easy to see why weāll be difficult to score against never mind beat,
Then we have the front 5/6, Salah, Jota, Gakpo, Nunez, Diaz, with young Ben Doak to come in too, i canāt be the only one to see the same Vision, JĆ¼rgen is building a side I think will surpass Klopp pt1, it may well be a bridge too far this season but by F**k are we about to cross it,
Keith will point out of course that my Red tints are firmly strapped on but, heās a deluded Manc and his opinion although welcome donāt really matter that much, he wonāt or will refuse to see what we see, and that is us becoming Pep Gās ultimate pain in his arse,
Spuds are flavour of the month right now, however they couldnāt score against 9 of us and only a freak OG gave them points two points more than what they have, and weād be but a point behind, it is a marathon not a sprint and without European adventures itās easy to see why some think the unthinkable, a top 4 for them would be a step forward but their certainly not winning it,
Arse, yes they have improved also, but they look fragile in midfield and not as good as us at the back, nor up top, a flip of the coin between them and Spuds for third, I favour Arse simply cos they have a more settled side and will draw on last seasons experience, the rest will fight it out for the remaining Euro spots and quite frankly i donāt give a F**k who finishes where, but I reckon if the Munts donāt get shot of Eric by Crimbo theyāll be Lucky to see the dreaded Euro conference sh*te,
That leaves us and the fraudsters, now youāve gone Gaga and im talking out of by poop chute will be endearing comments heading my way, but seriously I cannot see Shitty regaining their title, yes they are a phenomenal team but their certainly not invincible, the unfortunate thing for us, and perhaps fortune will be on their side when we meet right after the next International breakā¦..and f***in yesā¦.itās a 12.30 KOā¦..AGAIN ??ā¦..we all know weāre never at our best at that time of day, but this is massive and i truly believe weāll be well up for it, so weāll seeā¦.
Itās far too early to say for sure, but I see the top 4 as ā¦..
Liv/City
Arse
Spudsā¦.
After that I couldnāt give the Shiniest sh*te about !!!
