OttawaSaint Posted 31 October, 2020 Share Posted 31 October, 2020 So are we really happy with today’s results or not? We stay well clear of the strugglers but lose ground on the 3 of the big six teams. If that’s not an MLG klaxon I don’t know what is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see how you can call them anything other than perfect results for us. Keeps that bottom four well adrift and the only team you’d call our rivals realistically is West Ham, who lost.

S-Clarke Posted 1 November, 2020 Share Posted 1 November, 2020 Everton's bubble has burst then. I hate the start of season waffle some of the pundits come out with, it's similar to Spurs as well. The top 4 will be the usual, just a little more tightly packed this year I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 1 November, 2020 Share Posted 1 November, 2020 Feels a bit odd to be interested in Man Utd v Arsenal for league position but we’re almost a quarter of the way through the season and above both of them. At the moment at least, we’re competing at the top end of the table, I’m personally hoping for draw here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, after 3 years of looking nervously over our shoulders, I’d quite like to have a season of just not caring about the R word. That means those bottom four continuing to get spanked for another month or two, so that even if we have a Bournemouth style, mid-season 8 defeats in 10, we’re still comfy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 1 November, 2020 Share Posted 1 November, 2020 After our game 3 cheers for having the IPL to watch - what I could be bothered to watch of the other 2 games they were pretty grim especially the Manure v Arse game even more so after the hullabaloo in the build up from Sky - but then Man U v Chelsea same blockbuster build up same damp squib.

Jimmy_D Posted 2 November, 2020 Share Posted 2 November, 2020 Have to admit I thought it'd be a bit longer than this, and I guess it could just be an off day, but it's looking like a combination of the step up to the Premier League and Bielsa's tactics are starting to take a toll on Leeds' squad already. They look pretty much done in this game at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look pretty much done in this game at least. They are without Kalvin Phillips today, and he is crucial to their midfield. Their stand-in (Shackleton) is a young lad and probably not ready just yet. Rodrigo would add quality as well and he's not playing either. It just shows that they don't quite have the squad, no surprise just yet. They'll have enough to stay up I think (going by the dross down there this year) but they'll need to baulk up that squad for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen such an ineffective team at this level for such a long time. Incapable of defending or scoring. Two very good goals by Fulham, albeit not as a good a hit as Danny’s, but overall I wasn’t convinced. WBA started stronger and after the goals, twice Fulham gave easy possession away centrally in dangerous areas, and WBA should have made them pay, although Lemina did recover his loss of concentration unlike Anguissa (IIRC). Against Saints in current form let alone Spurs or Liverpool, that would have been two goals shipped. Karlan Grant missed a chance that he sliced as well without working the keeper. Second half WBA heads went down. Lemina injured again - didn’t have a bad half but hard to evaluate vs WBA. Compare it to his Pellegrino performances v them and not encouraging, hope he is not out long as both parties need to move on. Reed busy but WBA pressure on ball less. Lemina has more quality on the ball but Harrison will help Fulham’s back 4 more. Prefer our CM options with Diallo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 7 November, 2020 Share Posted 7 November, 2020 Would be great to still be top tonight. More generally though - and without any belief that we can “do a Leicester” - I’ve started cheering on the strugglers against the big teams. Usually I’d want the bottom 5 or 6 to be losing to the better clubs in order to aid relegation worries. I’m now thinking top six is a real possibility and relegation really is not. So I consider, say, Spurs and Leicester to be our rivals this season not Burnley, WBA, Fulham etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
