We haven't been tested yet

Stoke away - Good home record and in Europe
Fulham home - Playing in Europe
Tottenham home - Playing in Europe
Arsenal home - Playing in Champions League
Aston Villa away - Proving tough to beat
QPR away - Beat Chelsea and ran Man City close at home
Sunderland away - Must be the nobodies we keep hearing about

It's bollocks to suggest a team that's unbeaten in Novemember hasn't been tested. And if any of our rivals are reading this and scratching their heads I'll let you in on a little secret........

Minimal team rotation + attacking fluid football = points

 

How weren't we successful when you were here Joe?

 

I guess I'd like to think it was bad timing

 

Another time another place.

 

Depends on the context in which the statement is made. Can we stay in the top 4? Then yes we are yet to play 4 of the top 6 teams, so you could say we haven't been tested. But even then you have to beat the rest of the teams also to finish there. Liverpool have struggled to do this in the past despite doing well against the big teams. If its being talked about have we been tested in terms of any position below that, we most certainly have. We have played 11 of 19 teams! So we have only yet to encounter 4 of the teams likely to finish outside the top 6. These are Norwich a, Swansea h, West Brom h and Bolton a. All games I'd expect us to be in with a chance of taking points. Yes we are thin in areas and the 2nd half of the season will be key in terms of injuries but we have a window around the corner now we're in November. If we sign 2 or 3 to key areas, they have similar quality to what has been coming in of late, then I can see us maintaining our form.

 

Anyone who looked at our fixture list this season said we were going down... that we'd have 0 points after the first two/three games... Etc etc... zzzzzzzzzz

As long as Lawro keeps predicting us to lose I'm happy!!!
