4 games gone and we are 1 point behind schedule which is good going considering who we have played. Our next two league games are Chelsea (a) and Hull (h), the way we are playing I'm hoping for 6 points never mind 4!
I think the key to Friday's game is Eden Hazard, if he plays well (like he did at Anfield at the end of last season) we will be up against it, if he has an off night though I think we could win quite comfortably.
it will be men against boys in the middle of the pitch vs Chelsea, Hendo vs Kante only has one winner, if were going to win its going to have to be on the counter and with the form our forward players have i back us to score goals its just weather the defence will hold up against quality opposition because i see us getting dominated in central midfield.
When Hendo is on it he's a very effective player. He can overwhelm players with his energy and pressing.. A good example was the 4-1 at the Etihad last year where Yaya Toure basically gave in. Everytime he got the ball Henderson pounced straight on him and forced a mistake. I'm hoping Can gets back soon so we can see that them 2 back holding the midfield.
Have to admit, seeing the likes of Leicester and spurs preparing for their CL games is galling. Really does hit home how far we have fallen behind in recent times. Do miss those evening CL games at Anfield. Have high hopes we will get there this year what with JK getting us playing good stuff and the fact we can focus on the league what with no European football. Really would be gutted if we miss out this year and would be a real kick in the nuts
1 point off target after playing last season's top 3 is not bad going at all. Chelsea will be difficult but hopefully we can get a result. Even if we could get a draw and beat Hull I think that would be a good return.
