Wouldn't bother me so long as we keep the performances up, top at Christmas would be a nice bonus but it's a slightly #falseposition anyway since it's after 17 not 19 games #easierrunin
5 of your last 7 games have been against sides in the bottom half, 4 of them being in the bottom 7...... Aside from Spurs you've beaten no-one of note..........
After these next two fixtures we will have played Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham, Newcastle and Everton away in the first half of the season. With only an away game an utd in the 2nd half.
Manchester City and Chelsea games are test of our characters.It's better to be where we are than where United is.
But we've beaten 10 other "nobodies" and each one was worth 3 points. Everton are doing great, but you're also joint 1st with West Brom for number of draws so far this season (7). If those 7 draws had been 3 wins and 4 losses instead you'd be 3 points clear at the top. #deathbyathousanddraws
Seven draws = seven points Three wins and four losses = nine points They'd be level on points with us!
So only another 6 Prem teams then How many of your next 7 are against teams in the top half? Strangely enough it's two (3 if you count stoke at home who are tenth). Will you have a problem if you win them? Of course you won't so wtf are you on about you miserable bluenose tart?
You went to Arsenal and drew, Arsenal beat us,you beat United away and you also beat Chelsea at home.Second half the season is when we saparate men from boys.You are very lucky, you were not beaten by us in your own backyard and you are yet to come to Anfield this season.Everton doing well...but do not be excited!.
I was responding to a post saying that you've supposedly got an easier run in, by pointing out that your recent fixtures haven't been overly taxing........ As for us, our toughtest fixture (on paper) before the derby at the end of Jan is Stoke away, who we gubbed 4-0 the other week. You've also got to go there in Jan btw.
When did the attempts on target stat start winning games? You'll be telling me possession doesn't win you points next
Oh come on Tobes, you know as well as anyone that it would have more than likely been game game over had he put that in to make it 3-1 with half hour remaining.
