it is

but champions dont do it every week; palace v ten men hanging on till you got the second very late, today same thing.

is something up with your attack? palace is fair enough away but i thought you'd of rolled Brighton 4 or 5 at home
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardly hanging on were we?

Alisson made 1 save all game

Nothing in that game today, that would remotely bother teams like Spurs.

You're not worried about Liverpool but you've watched every game and keep making that same comment about us
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to keep an eye on teams that I think will be around the top four, Liverpool will be in the mix with that along with Arsenal, Chelsea and United . Title will be decided between City and Spurs.

Poor second half from us. Sloppy passing and a slow tempo. The front three gave the ball away too much for my liking today.

Once again we pretty much dominated and were defensively solid though.

Three games, maximum points and no goals conceded, so overall it's a great start to the season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very poor, gave them confidence and its where their threats came from. Mane had a mare, felt like watching Kennedy at times probably took him just as long to find a red shirt , Finishing was well off, Firmino still looks well off in sharpness, Salah took his goal well but wasted good chances, also don't like it when Brighton were pushing thats when we need him running in behind not coming short all the time, firing 100mph passes or shooting from 50 yards like he was.

I think our fullbacks did well but were frustrated, kept making runs and not getting the ball. Gomez and Milner were stand out performers imo.

This is great!

its a good start and i think only liverpool have done what they were supposed to, nothing flashy yet, but got it done 3 times, city should be on 9 and united should be on 6 but both messed up games.

intrigued to see state of table after youve played city, i believe you have spurs and chelsea prior to that

Not quite at it yet as a 3.
Still, well settle for 7 goals from 3 games with a misfiring forward line.

We would have drawn that last season. 6 out of 10 all round.

Seen nothing from spurs that would remotely worry me.

Or spurs, like us have started well but still not clise to their best.

Remember when i told you to apply the logic you do to spurs to us, you'd do well to listen to me sandy

was just a question because they were pretty poor v palace and again today. was just wondering if there had been a shake up in style or play with the new midfield that was affecting them or whether theyre still getting up to speed.

4 points already this season I'm pretty sure we would have dropped if we didn't have VVD and Alisson. Early days but they look to be making the difference.

Just said on the match thread it was like watching Utd, slow disjointed and not pretty but they usually win like that every week

He's hooked on the reds.

Watching every minute of every game and scrutinising everything.

They're still off their fluid best but producing goals and assists.

The midfield dynamic has changed and it will take a bit more time to get really going but they're doing teir jobs while not being brilliant.

Let’s also remember last season we never really got into gear untill after the Spurs defeat. These games at the start of last season we were drawing. We had a good game against Arsenal but the team really got better as the season went on. Now we have more quality that while we find our rhythem instead of drawing we are winning due to the fact we are far more solid defensively.. Man City scraped a good few wins at the start of last season with last minute goals ect. When Chelsea won the league the season before they had a rocky start. This team can perform much better and will as the season goes on. It’s a massive positive we don’t need to bang in 3 or 4 goals to secure a win anymore.. This game reminded me of the 1-1 with Newcastle near the start of last season. Turning draws into wins is what we all wanted we can’t blitz teams 5-0 every week that’s why everyone always says you can’t win a title without a solid defence and a world class goalkeeper.

I think our strategy has changed but now we have a solid backline we/klopp can trust means we don't need to be so gung ho all the time

We will still get chances but goals for column will likely suffer

Still early days but we'll see

Looks like we need to win every game 4-5 nil or else we are poor by some expectations

Bottom line is that we won. Well let United entertain for once.
