PieFacE Posted August 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2019 1 minute ago, useless said: On the equivalent round of games last season Brighton drew with Fulham, and Cardiff lost to Arsenal, if Cardiff had have won that game they wouldn't have been relegated, so yes games this early in the season can ultimately cost a club dearly. I don't think anyone is denying that picking up points for us is crucial. It absolutely is at all stages of the season. But worrying about the results in other games at this stage is just a bit unnecessary, imo. It's down to us to pick up points, let's worry about ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A draw today could prevent us from being in the bottom three come the international break. Because Southampton got a point against United, it means they we have to get something today to avoid dropping into the bottom three, because of Watford and Newcastle playing each other, so one of them is guaranteed at least a point. Actually if Watford win, then that might be enough for us, but it won't be easy for them away at Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more dangerous the weekend after the break as we don't play West Ham until the Monday night so all teams will have chance to overtake us. Nothing much we can do about that apart from getting a result today and v West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we can get out of our heads the cursed nature of last 20 years to me they're the top 6 team we best match up with (Liverpool and Man. City on another level let's be honest). Plenty of energy in midfield which usually disrupts their midfield and got enough pace at the back to keep likes of James and Rashford in check. Only issue is I'd like to have played them at home before xmas. They'll probably sign some more players in January and likely a new manager aswell.

VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Watford already winning at Newcastle. HUGE pressure on us now to continue the world is ending narrative. Edited August 31, 2019 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Quick look at the live league table....2 point difference between Man. United in 5th (5 points) and Watford in 20th (3 points). Really pointless looking at a league table at this stage imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Well we're in the bottom three now, and wouldn't be if United had have beat Southampton. Complete arrogance to think that other results don't matter to us no matter at which point of the season they come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Burnley haven't been that bad, one flukey deflection for the first and bad defensive error and they're 2 down and trying to keep the score down. They'll still stay up though. Man. City and Liverpool are just on another level, they should just go to Asia and play each other 30 times a season.

sne Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A Messi-less Barcelona had a 16 y.o kid score for them today. Ansu Fati. Their youngest La Liga scorer ever. Still only got a 2-2 draw away against Osasuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) If we'd have drawn all our games so far this season we'd be on four points, have a better goal difference, and wouldn't be in the bottom three.
