So anything other than CL semis and a domestic treble would be failure for you?

Yea! I have a strong feeling that this is going to be our season. And obviously PL is the priority. But I don't want to see us giving up on any front.

That's pushing it tbh Laughing


So if we finished 2nd by one point on the last day, you'd still think that was a "grand failure"?

Well. I consider only Man City are our title rival this season. We have a 5 points advantage now. Knowing Mou, I'm sure we wont let this early advantage slip by. If we dont win the league this season it will require a Gerrard-esque slip.

A 5 point advantage 5 games in is virtually meaningless.


Were it 5 games to go I'd agree with you, but it's waaaay too early to be counting that as anything significant.

Man Utd will bounce back. They are only 1 top quality signing away in their defensive department. They will do it in January.

Liverpool without Suarez and poor defense and a CL to be taken care of is no contender for me.

Arsenal when have their main players fit could be a true force. But their poor records against the top teams are continuing.

That leaves only Man City to be worried about. But they also have their problems too. They depend too much on Yaya. Their midfield is a bit thinner. Lamps wont be their for a full season.

And we haven't depended too much on injury-prone Costa so far? One injury to him and then what?

I know 5 points advantage at this point means nothing. But looking at our fixture I am sure we will make this advantage look greater.

The start of this season is reminding me of Jose's second season with Madrid.

Relatively difficult part of our fixure:

Sep 27 Villa (h)
Sep 30 Sporting (a)
Oct 5 Arsenal (h)

Oct 26 Utd (a)

Nov 5 maribor (a)
Nov 8 Liverpool (a)

Nov 25 Schalke (a)
Nov 29 Sunderland (a)
Dec 3 Tottenham (h)
Dec 6 Newcastle (a)
Dec 10 Sporting (h)

We have a relatively easier fixture this season. Should take advantage of it.

I am confident we will have a significant points advantage over our rivals before the end of this year. And that's already half of the season done. And be sure of Mou. He won't ever let us choke this time.

I'm of the opinion that it all evens out over the course of the season. You many be going through an easy period of fixtures while your rivals is in the middle of a difficult one, but at some point, they're going to be the ones in an easy run while you'll have a string of challenging games to contend with.

City's hard CL group and a lot of travel will take its toll.
