robby b Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The first round of matches has gone well for us with lots of teams who are likely to be, or might be, our rivals in the bottom half losing: Fulham, Southampton, Leeds, West Ham, West Brom, Sheffield Utd and hopefully Brighton too. That's like a little headstart for us. It's intriguing that five of the seven home teams have lost (with only Liverpool and Palace winning at home). It may well be six out of eight by 10pm with Brighton currently losing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that Liverpool definitely missed the crowd on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have tried to be one of them if coronavirus hadn't come along! It's been too long since we beat the Blades, boo. :< Well I know it wasn't last season or the one before, I think it was the one before that, 1-0, maybe a last-minute Snodgrass wonder goal. Was that the one? Edited September 14, 2020 by robby b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always seem to be in games against the better teams but don't tend to get many shock results like us. Just looked at their record last season. Away defeats at Man. United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Man. City and 0-0s at Wolves and Leicester. Beat Spurs 3-0 at home and also did the double over Arsenal but then we beat them at the end of season. Potter is decent coach but I'm not convinced he's miles better than DS otherwise they'd be finishing much further ahead of us in the league given they've been in it since 2017 and spent a decent amount of money in that time. What they do have is a more stable defensive base to build on. Finished 6 points ahead of us last season, would be disappointed if we can't close that gap.

Mjvilla Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have only seen him a few times, but I'm not convinced by havertz? I'm sure he's an incredible talent, and I'm sure some of you who watch more European football will laugh at me, but I'm yet to see him have a good game!

I saw him live 18 months ago and was probably the best individual performance by a player live, absolutely ran the game from centre of the park in a must-win game for Champions League. They won 5-1 away and he got 2 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we're still top half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that accolade went to Harry Redknapp at West Ham. Pretty sure he had a few Romanians in there. As for tonight, great result for wolves, will they stay fit throughout the season. Not seen tonight but I’d still expect Shef Utd to be a tough ask for us. After losing today’s they’ll come out the blocks firing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
