Decent start

We've played Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, and Leeds who will all be Top 8 teams this season, and then we had the one mare vs villa.
Still sitting close to the top
Good win away in Europe and hopefully adding some more points tomorrow night.
We've had a few injuries but with Allison now back and Thago looking to be on the mend, Fabinho looking good at CB its time to look forward not back.

No one seems to be laying down a marker which suits us just fine, we're pick up plenty of points and see where it takes us.

I still think city are the team to keep an eye on so its a big game in a few weeks time.

Midgetlads first though, 3-0 home win for me

Yep very good start apart from that crazy Villa game. Maybe we need a game like that now and again to keep us on our toes and make us more focused. I think we've got a more than decent chance of retaining the title with everyone dropping points for fun. I'm hoping tomorrow night might be the game where we dish out a real hammering to get the confidence flowing.

I think klopp will use Villa through the season to remind them of not getting ahead of themselves. Overall good start and think if we can get a result against city we could already be building a big gap

Its an alright position right enough but not anything special.

we will see over the next period how we grow it (or not) into a good position.

IMO the team who SURVIVES (and that's a critical term) best to the post Christmas period when the FA cup starts will be in position to kick on.

this is an absolutely brutal fixture list that is utterly disgraceful. we lost a full month of time and then had the temerity to pack extra internationals in just to suit? didn't cancel league cup either.

the team who is left standing best on Jan 1 will probably establish a lead then that won't be caught.

Every point now is crucial.

A decent start but nothing more. The Villa score was nothing short of a disgrace though. We are far too sloppy in front of goal though and certain players need to buck their ideas up. TAA and Bobby come to mind. We desperately need Matip to stay fit but it seems like we can't rely on him so a top quality CB is needed in Jan. Upamecano is the dream but reports suggest White is more likely.

Metro or TVJ? Or both?

Villa aside, it’s been a good start.

No one has more points than us. No one has scored more goals than us.

Really get the feeling this season is gonna be a slugfest . Each week someone getting knocked on their @ss. Just gotta see who can pick themselves up and dust themselves down best

Definitely not ‘fresh meat’.....

It’s easy to spot a returning user by how they type. This one has definitely been around here before....

18 teams have conceded less than us though

I just want to see the club give a bl00dy good defence of our league title and for that we can't afford any passengers, whether it be poor performers or constantly injured players. Teams habe now figured how to get at us: Diagonal balls in behind Trent and it works all the time. He is always caught out of position and isn't really offering anything in the final 3rd

Yeah, we should sell him.

I never said that. He is a top class player but recently he has been poor. Hopefully just a blip and we see the real Trent return soon. We have a real chance to be one of the few clubs to retain a PL title and we cannot let it pass us by.

It's amazing that people can watch modern football and still state attacking full backs are out of position when they have the audacity to play how the manager has asked them by positioning themselves high up the pitch. When a teammate loses a ball, he doesn't even have the common courtesy to teleport back into position.
