    Keeping the performances aside, I just realised we played 4 of the traditional top 6 in our 9 games so far. We are still unbeaten and tied on points with City on top. With key players returning, it’s time to go a winning run until Christmas.

      And potential banana peel games at Palace and Everton, and plus we haven’t played the promoted teams.

      Exactly, 21 points after 9 games having played City, United, Tottenham and Chelsea is actually pretty damn good. I agree that performances could have been better, but I have faith that the team will start to click more.

      I get your point,but the league isn’t what it was a few years back.We are yet to play Brighton,Villa,and Newcastle who aren’t part of the traditional big 6,but more dangerous than a team like ManU at the moment. We also have to play Liverpool,the second most difficult fixture after City.Also the games against the Manchester clubs and Spurs were all at home.

      I think a lot of folks including myself expected a much cleaner performance. I rewatched yesterday and it just screams bad day in the office. We looked kinda flat coming back from internationals, missed Partey, front 3 all working back to full fitness.
