Last season we finished 5th and what got us that position was the great start we had, form based on result post Chelsea home loss wouldn’t have us finishing 5th. We’ve got potentially on paper much tougher away fixtures to come than Brighton and Palace away.
Last season we picked up 2 points away against Newcastle, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool where the heat really is turned up when the chips are down.
We’ve already lost the first one away at Newcastle. If we continue with performances we have been chucking in, how many points do you honestly believe we will get in away matches this season from Newcastle, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool? I hope I’m wrong but I’ve got an idea in mind of how many if I’m being really honest and impartial.
We are best set up for a cup team this year and that will only work if we don’t chuck in a performance like 2nd half Brighton or Palace away if we do, only the Europa league based on two legs offers us a chance of a comeback.
As brutal and as harsh as this all sounds that’s where we’re at this season.
