0-2.

The fightback starts today.
Hopefully.

Villa (H) - 0 points Man City (A) - 0 points Fulham (H) - 3 points Brighton (H) - 1 point Wolves (A) - 3 points Forest (H) - 3 points 10 points. Maybe a tad optimistic, more likely to be between 5-8 points. We need Burnley, Forest, Leeds, Fulham and Brentford to have a poor period so we don’t end up...

If Wilson and Summerville start, and stay on the pitch for at least 75 minutes, then we have a chance of getting something.  Nuno appears capable of learning from his mistakes (giving up on the inverted full backs being one of them), so hopefully he'll realise we need to keep a proper attacking thre...

A point would be a decent result, I'd take that.

Same starting line-up as last week.
I expect it to be a tougher game, Burnley won't come on to us the way Newcastle did and we'll need to find the gaps and break them down.
Providing everyone does their job we should win, 1-0, maybe 2-0.

A much better lineup, if everyone stays focused and does their job we might have half a chance. 
Wilson up top gives us an outlet and someone to aim for.
Defence is shocking though. 

I'm going for an optimistic 1-0.


 

I fully expect our defence to make Calvert-Lewin look like prime Ronaldo (the fat one).
2-0, maybe even 3-0.

The line-up gives us half chance of creating some chances, unlike last week's.
 

0-2.
I can't see us creating much to worry their defence, and I can't see us keeping a clean sheet.

El Scorchio - I think Cresswells move to Stoke was a decent one for a player of his age. Coufals move was also pretty good. Can't disagree with the rest though. Couple that with the fact that we generally sell our players at a loss just highlights how shit we are at recruitment and squad management...

I think picking him to play on Saturday was more a message for Areola. His days are numbered and he can find another club.
 

Right now, I'd take some sports washers - Newcastle style.  They have enough money to employ the right people in the top positions to make the right decisions.  Everything else then falls in to place.  Like Newcastle,  you wouldn't get instant or regular top 4 positions, but you'd be closer to the t...

1 - Liverpool
2- Chelsea
3 - Arsenal
4- Man City

18- Brentford
19- Burnley
20- Leeds

1-2.
Just because I refuse to start the season being negative, lets see how long that lasts!

Hermansen played the whole game with 2 keepers on the bench including Begovic who they signed a few days ago.

We've signed far worse players than KWP, for a lot more money and wages.

Whether he's a squad player or first choice, its not going to make or break our season. I would have been  happier if we could have included JWP as part of the deal and freed up some of his wages.
 

My brother joined in the late 1980s, he deserted after 6 months.
