Mr X Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Lets make no mistake what we have achieved so far is incredible, and that cant be taken away from us but now is the real test! The fixture list had been kind to us up till now, but you can only beat what's in front of you! Can we perform when it really counts against other teams in the top four? I feel we are not at that level just yet and the ocassion will be too much for us, we were lucky to get a point from villa and if we play like that we will get slaughtered! I would take a point right now, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 The way we are playing you have to go for it for me, if we have the very real aspirations then you have to go for it at home. That said you are right, many many fans have got far far ahead of themselves. We have played two sides from last years top 6 and lost. We need to start now, a d prove we should be there. Its important to keep that confidence up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Would they all of been in the bottom 11 had we not beaten them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 They are all Premiership sides though and there are no easy games. We are where we are on merit and I for one cant wait until we play some of the so called top sides. We have nothing to fear. I think we will beat City today and I cant wait for Manure.

Nolan Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Both us and may city have played qpr, west ham and stoke. We got 9 points, they got 2. Stats are great. You can always find a way of showing positives or negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctoroncall Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 What have we got to lose? The pressure isn't on us, Man City need the win more than us because of the expectation of a title challenge and the world class players they have. So may as well go for it and see happens.

Dalek2003 Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Who cares. 3 points is 3 points and we are in 2nd because we have those 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 So thats 3 in 3 against last years top six.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Very similar to last season. Think until the last month (last season) we only had one win against top 10 sides? Difference this season is i never expected us to be top 8, not after all our best player departed. Today was a reality check, but all in weve still started the season way better than most expected and Koeman should take alot of credit for that.

Saint_clark Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Would they all of been in the bottom 11 had we not beaten them ? Easy way to find out, give them 3 points and see where they'd be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 1 December, 2014 Share Posted 1 December, 2014 There is no point in hiding from the fact; ManC put us in our place. If we cannot bounce back and get a result on Wednesday and at a least a draw against a resurgent ManYoo at the weekend, we will end up somewhere similar to last season, sadly. Its been fun while it lasted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 1 December, 2014 Share Posted 1 December, 2014 (edited) Easy way to find out, give them 3 points and see where they'd be. take away our 3 points (per game) - and see where we'd be ....

There are no easy games in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
