Arsenal vs Ammers Player ratings and match Reaction

[Ollie the Optimist]

Probably not but 7 points isn’t really a lot when you’ve got a team like City behind you. This really does feel like a one game at a time kind of thing.

Hell of a lot of football to be played but you can’t deny there’s an excitement creeping in.

Obviously city are one hell of a side with a complete squad and current champions but so far this season, they have thrown away points from games that you wouldn’t expect them too given they have only really had two tough games on paper (united at home & Liverpool away) which was a win & a loss.

They’ve drawn with Newcastle (although they are better this season then expected), villa, Everton and lost to Brentford. All four of those games, you would expect them to have won. Otherwise bar the Fulham game, they seem to have won comfortably as expected but they ahve only played united & Liverpool out of the traditional big games. This week they have Chelsea, we play them soon as well.

As you say, its a one game at a time but we have had some huge wins this year out of games we don’t normally win whereas city seem to have thrown away easy points. Each time the media say when we win, just wait for city to catch up they stumble and we do maximise on that then ext game.

Not to say city aren’t a good side, they clearly are and know how to win but so far this season, they just seem to be a little bit more vulnerable even with Harland’s goals. If htey lose him, they might struggle even more.

They’re only 2 points shy of what they had after 16 games last year. They’ve set the bar so high the only way to stop them is to do what we’ve done so far, win near enough every game. Liverpool did the same when they won the league, won almost every game during the first half of the season.

The standards are ridiculous but that’s what we’re dealing with. Things can turn very quickly.
