Match congestion, poor form, Injuries will test this team. But I say Top 10. Yes pool were without some players and it was probably an off-day for them but we dismantled their defense and did very well not to let them get into a rhythm. It wasn’t like we were getting lucky with counters nor was it a nail- biting 1-nil win. We handily beat them with a much better execution of a game plan. This team has a ton of ability and as Dean said, they set the bar for expectations this season. And we out fought them. This is the most important thing. We totally demoralised them and when they got through Martinez killed their spirit. They were shell shocked. Van Dijk and Fabinho bouncing off our players scared them.

maqroll Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We outsmarted them in all facets. There was a cleverness to our play. Bring back the "PREPARED" motto! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Dean Smith just destroyed probably the best manager in the world. Never been made to look that stupid. Waking up today and going into work has been superb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Now getting close to 10/1 to go down. 9th favourites. That's quite the change over the first few games. I'll be extremely happy with anything top half this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Well I have to say I always thought it was going to be a tough ask for Liverpool to get anything out of the game, but I wasn't expecting them to capitulate quite so badly. As such I feel they will not be in a position to challenge again this year and we should now accelerate away from them.

A couple of weeks ago I would've said anywhere above 14thish but the way we've started the season, I genuinely don't know why we can't at least challenge for 7th? Honestly... I think 11th - 14th would be a 'good' season. I don't think we should get carried away just yet, we're bound to go on a bad run of form at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Can’t believe we have to wait two weeks for more football. I give about as much of a shit about international football as I do about the MLS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m still with around that area whether we started badly or as we have done. 40 points is still the first target for me, which obviously looks really achievable now but I’m not taking anything for granted or taking higher placing as a given. It’s a long season, anything can happen re injuries, form and suspensions. We have massively improved but we also have a lack of depth, so if everything goes well then we could be in a very strong position but a few issues we could still struggle. Points on the board are fantastic, let’s keep it up and aim for mid table and hope for some luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with the start and signings we've made I think top 10 is totally achievable - if we can avoid key injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If were doing really well by Christmas, fine we can reconsider, but not now 3 matches in. It would be folly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
