I think we’re a bubble team at best
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
TBF, Arteta is starting to build up some credit now...a loss or two against better opposition shouldn't really change that unless we perform really poorly. There have been some pleasing aspects to some of our recent peformances...but on the whole we still struggle to control games though we are managing them better, especially the latter part of games. I am still not fully convinced, the next set of games after the international break will really tell us where this team is.
The key will be when the wheels come off and how quickly we get going again. A defeat is fine, but go and win the next few games after that and no one will care. If we keep stringing together runs of form I’m sure we will find ourselves up there in contention. The reason we’ve been mid table for 2 years is because our form has basically been win, lose, draw and repeat. We can’t allow ourselves to fall back into that aimless existence.
We’ve recovered well from that shocker of a start. Go and get yourselves a statement win next I say. No better place than Anfield for that considering how much of a graveyard it is for us.

I’ve written off the Liverpool game. I don’t think we are there yet.
I do expect us to have a go at Utd though. They are there for the taking. Historically we have been the go to team for clubs who are in trouble and need a confidence boosting win, we need to stop that and stand up in these games.
Christmas is the next time to look at where we are.
Liverpool game is a write off for me too…but I just want to see us go there and compete, even if we lose it will be an improvement if we actually give them a good game. The United game is a must not LOSE if we have any ambitions of challenging too 4 properly, the Everton away game I’m looking at like Leicester now so another win. Then we have West Ham home which will be a really difficult game IMO
Yeah if he turns up at Anfield with a back ten I''ll be really annoyed, we need to try to take them on a bit and try to grab a point
We can do Moan U if we get the tactics right, same with the Hammers
Right. I don’t mind losing at Anfield. It wasn’t losing up at City I objected to, it was the grim inevitability of the result and the absolute pasting we took. Partly because of Xhaka’s brainfart, but we were getting a spanking before then, that just made it worse.
Let’s go to Anfield and give them a game. If we lose the fine, they’re better than us. But let’s not just roll over for them.
