Saint_Tony Posted 15 September, 2019 Share Posted 15 September, 2019 Such an overrated side. Seem to be many pundits' picks to break top 6. They are a bit like the new West Ham, paying all that money for Iwobi, for example, is just reckless spending. And they still have Calvert-Lewin leading the line, I don't see him becoming anything more than another Victor Anichebe. The way the table has gone so far is really interesting. No real standout sides apart from City and Liverpool, and no side playing particularly poorly. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 15 September, 2019 Share Posted 15 September, 2019 I didn't watch the game but they seem to have done very well to fight back today. If it had stayed as it was at HT they would have been looking at 1 point and a -8 GD after 5 games. As we know from last season, failing to get the points on the board in the early season will result in a season-long struggle. Although they ended up playing some decent stuff in the second half, it was less a fight back by Watford and more than a capitulation by Arsenal. Shocking defending for the first, the sort of present opposition teams can only dream of, and a lazy challenge in the box for the second. That was definitely two points dropped by Arsenal.

Saint_Tony Posted 17 September, 2019 Share Posted 17 September, 2019 Everyone seems to be raving about West Ham. They have had a decent window, better than their usual scattergun approach. But their results aren't exactly much more impressive than ours given who they've played. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanh Posted 17 September, 2019 Share Posted 17 September, 2019 Why do people talk about 4/5 games as if it’s going to be a whole season? Liverpool are playing well but haven’t really been tested yet. They will have a bad spell like they did last year when they threw away a 7 point lead. An injury to one of their key players and it’s a different story. Likewise City won’t be that bad again. IMO the problem Liverpool have versus City is they have an additional rival club to play twice a season - Man U and Everton. The vitriol in those four matches means that often form and quality go out of the window resulting in less predictable results. City only really have any sort of rivalry with Utd and even then I don't think it creates the same sort of impassioned derbies that Liverpool encounter four times a season.

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Alan Brazil was saying on Talk****e this morning that outside of the Top 6 there is very little quality, aside maybe in Everton's and Leicester's squads. Clearly we're sneaking under the radar then as with Boufal, Djenepo and Redmond still to come back, I think attacking wise we have quite a lot of quality. West Ham are a strange one, talk of them breaking into the top 6 or 8 but they're still West Ham, a decent team on paper but still under perform against the likes of Villa. Long may we sneak under the radar too. It was like back in the Koeman days when we were flirting with top 4 and we were still getting glossed over by the media.

Think they're in the medias eye because they're attacking players are very good on paper (and cost a load of money!) Lanzini (£m?), Anderson (£40m), Haller (£45m), Fornals (£30m), Yarmolenko (£20m). They also put themselves in the medias eye quite a lot anyway. However they're still not great defensively, their midfield isn't great and they struggle. Don't think they have a chance of breaking into the top 6 if I'm honest. Leicester got the best chance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
