Yeah we'd be wise to not get too carried away. Liverpool and City might look shaky now but they've been racking up absurd points totals over the past few seasons and Chelsea's attacking riches are ridiculous - if they click they could be truly formidable, even with Lampard as manager.Think we need to calm down. Everton wasn't that long ago. We set ourselves up for this every time. The international break has come at the worst time especially with the momentum we were building. I'm more confident of top 4 and a cup win than I was a few weeks ago though.
That said, it's hard not to get excited at the moment. Compared to last season there are so, so many positives:
- Fit Kane and Son in amazing form (touch wood).
- Ndombele and Lo Celso both starting to really live up to their potential.
- Proper ball-winning midfielder in Hojbjerg.
- Full back positions both massively strengthened with real competition for places.
- A living, breathing, back-up no.9 who isn't Troy Deeney.
- Genuine strength in depth in practically every area of the pitch barring CDM.
- Gareth. Shitting. Bale.
If we can keep key players fit, strengthen our defence, and Bale is even half as good as he was last time, we've could seriously go places over the next season or two.
