burchy Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think we’ll give both City and Arsenal a good game, with us perhaps getting something out of Arsenal. With the exception of Liverpool Emery has a good record against the top sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the ceiling. 4th or above will be one of the all-time great PL seasons IMO bearing in mind the levels of competition. I read this as "the levels of corruption".

MrBlack Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 With Ramsey and Moreno seemingly back, it's timed wonderfully to get some rotation in to our squad. This will help us cope with the 8 games we've got in December Tielemans getting his act together gives us a core of 15 fit players for outfield spots where quality doesn't really suffer whoever plays... Cash Konsa Pau Carlos Digne Moreno Kamara Luiz Teielemans McGinn Bailey Diaby Ramsey and (Zaniolo at a push) Watkins We are in a good spot to cope with this December, and I'd say better than most clubs beyond Man City. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 The rotation aspect is another string to Emery’s bow. He is well versed in keeping a squad in optimum condition throughout extended campaigns. There can’t be many managers in the league with as many season’s of consistent European competition. Pep, Klopp? Who else? Our squad is deeper than it looks now we’ve got JJ and Moreno back and I’m sure if he wants to add one or two in January then he’ll be able to.

Definitely agree in the overall picture... ...but I'm struggling to name 4 teams which are definitively better than us. Man City and Liverpool, no question. Arsenal are top, so possibly them. Is there a 4th? Are Spurs, Newcastle, Man Utd, Chelsea or Brighton a better side than us right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is much to separate us and these teams, it will go down to who is more consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 its a strange feeling but I cant wait to play Arsenal and Man City. Usually scared and apprehensive. Bring it on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only took 5 points last season from the equivalent of the 7 fixtures we have this month. So plenty of room to improve. Could lose to City and Arsenal as still have the opportunity to be as much as 10 points up on last season's games (which would put us 12 up for the season). Even taking 8 to 10 points would be an improvement and not a complete disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on I agree. I'm really looking forward to the City game. Everyone's panicking about how Spurs high line will get on against City, predicting they'll get slaughtered. I'm thinking wait until they play against our high line lol. Were either going to get slaughtered or are going to give them the toughest test they've had this year. I think the later.
