Is that based on Cheaty playing 8 games, or based on the calander date?
This is important becasue both Cheaty and the scum had later starts than everyone else due to them both being a little bit precious and wanting extra holidays as they had to play later due to C/L and E/L semis/final being changed to accomodae the halting of the season for Covid
Our three draws this season really piss me off. We should have buried Brentford (Mo missed a sitter and our defence was shocking); Chelsea’s goal was either a worldie or a fluke; City’s equaliser was deflected.
I’m OK with the draws against Chelsea and City. The Brentford result is really annoying. We were so sloppy that day but I’m hoping it was early season rustiness. If seasons follow their usual pattern under JK then we should now start clicking through the gears.
So its nice and early in the season to put the moz on us: Can we go through the season undefeated?
I would say our forwards are looking far better than they were 19/20 especially with an extra player for rotation. AFCON could cause problems, Chelsea look like they might mean it this season (still too early and I expect them to crash and burn as the season wears on), and our defence particularly VVD doesn’t look anywhere near as imposing as 19/20.
But we have got through a run of fixtures that has seen draws or big wins against opponents (they will be happier with the draws than us). I think its still on.
Lets make it more of a challenge: Undefeated in all comps?
Home and away undefeated is a bit early probably a stretch, we will have an off day at some point. However if we are there with ten games to go then maybe.
Undefeated at Anfield is a very realistic target we should be aiming for.
