Spurs will start the ball rolling with the Lunch-time game at the Amex and it’s likely they’ll be feeling the pressure.
They need to need win and hopefully for them, they can come away with a good performance and all 3 points otherwise, the Spotlight will be on Mo-Po.
Potentially, one of our hardest games at we face Leicester. This could be where we finally drop points if a well-drilled Foxes turn up. First return too for Brendan Rodgers since his departure back in 2015.
An action-packed Sunday lies ahead with Chelsea at St Marys, the Gunners at home to Bournemouth, Manchester City entertaining Wolves and Manchester United away to Steve Bruce’s Newcastle.
I expect the unexpected to happen this week, most definitely!

4th October 2019 at 11:38 am #49238Reckon the Leicester game is the pick of the bunch for the weekend, two teams who are exceptionally good on the counter, could be a real end-to-end game and great for the neutrals. Can Leicester do it? Maybe, they’ve certainly got a better chance than most I reckon but still feel they’ll fall short. Away loss I reckon!!
As for the rest, a nervy trip down to the coast, the Spuds have the talent to bet the Seagulls for sure, but right now it seems to be the bit between their ears (or the bit between Jan the MAN’S legs) that’s causing all the trouble. An early goal for the Gulls, and who bloody knows what will happen…
Bit of a London Derby Saturday Night, but the atmosphere at the Hammers ground will very likely kill any atmosphere and that will spread down to the field… my pick of the week for a 0-0 draw!!
Sunday is just wins for all the Big Dogs and a surprise defeat for the Cherries… π

4th October 2019 at 12:33 pm #49246Southampton away is a tricky match most think. and they need the points. so i wouldn’t say it will be a walk over. but after back to back wins in the league and CL ajd on top of that the league cup win. i think the confidence will be high for this match. i would start the same team that started against Brighton. only CHO for Barkley and i will move Mount to the no 10 position. that is where he is at his devastating best. Zouma out for Christensen. i hope we won’t face a banana skin.fingers crossedβ. i would also be backing Liverpool to beat Leicester. at this minute i see Leicester as a threat more than Liverpool.?

4th October 2019 at 12:37 pm #49247AnonymousThe most interesting game for me has to be the Liverpool Leicester one and not because I’m a Liverpool fan. I’m worried about this one. Liverpool’s high line against Leicesters counter attack will be the center of the affair. We’ll have to have our off-side game on point and any mistake with the line and Vardy will punish us. At the other end, maybe it’s time for Leicesters so far impressive defence to be tested, post-Maguire.
I think Liverpool haven’t been great lately and maybe we won’t see an end to this for some time but hopefully the game the other night will be some form of wake-up call that we’ve got to work a little harder and be a little quicker of mind in order to sustain our winning run. I have some interest int he City V Wolves game but is anyone expecting anything but a win for City? They have injuries but they also have the best squad in the game to handle these kinds of problems.
As for wake up calls, when are the Utd owners going to hear their alarm clocks? They’ve been going for years. I didn’t see their game last night but I heard they didn’t manage a single effort on goal. Isn’t it time to do something? How does Woodward still collect a salary? What are his meeting like with his superiors? He must be a world class bullshit artist because his decision making is some of the worst in the game.

4th October 2019 at 12:44 pm #49248Mak, his meeting with superiors goes very well….
something like:
how much money have you spent and how much have you raked in?
spent little …raked in loads, stella profits
good man, keep up the good work

4th October 2019 at 12:52 pm #49249Say what you like about UnYooUtd, and I frequently do, but I don’t think you can claim they’ve “spent little”… spent it on dross, perhaps, but they’ve certainly spent!

4th October 2019 at 12:59 pm #49250AnonymousYa, they’ve spent way more than Liverpool, in order to be mid-table. That’s not going to go down well with any owners who actually don’t have their heads up their asses. I mean, maybe these lads are too busy living the life, burning their inheritances or making money hand over fist somewhere else, to the point that they just don’t care? They definitely are letting their club down in my opinion.

4th October 2019 at 1:05 pm #49252You have to factor in Man-management too and Manager’s relationship with players. What was Sanchez all about for example? The moment the guy goes through a rough patch with injury, it seems Jose didn’t really want to know.
It’s Jose’s man-management. I don’t the guy and at least from that point of view, Ole’s got his players trying. Jose’s way out rather than spending time with somebody and being engaged with them is to head for a blank cheque.

4th October 2019 at 2:09 pm #49266United’s problems in the transfer Market is their managerial revolving door since SAF’s departure all of them with different ideas on who should be signed and who should be retained no DOF and Woodward seemingly deeply involved in all the football decisions.
Sanchez is an interesting one he was brilliant at Arsenal lots of Clubs coveted him when United signed him but for all sorts of reasons it didn’t work out. That can happen as it did to come extent with Torres at Chelsea.
I watched United last night and they were toothless up front with not a shot on goal.
It’s difficult to understand United’s strategy in allowing both Lukaku and Sanchez to leave without signing anyone to replace them and trying to put that right in January can be very difficult.

4th October 2019 at 4:05 pm #49272AnonymousTeam I’d play against Leicester :
Adrian
Trent – Gomez – Van Dijk – Robertson
Milner – Fabinho – Wijnaldum
Salah – Firmino – ManeI’d look to give Keita 20 mins, regardless of the score. Klopp doesn’t seem to trust Shaqiri anymore but I’d try and give him a few minutes also, were I in charge. Gomez got a hard time for a very rusty performance on Wednesdays night but that game time will have benefited him greatly. I just hope he’s going to be sharp enough for this match as our defence will be tested. It’s not been good enough so far TBH, so a stern test ahead from Vardy and co.
It’d be typical that this is where Perez gets his first goal for them.

4th October 2019 at 6:04 pm #49289I fancy Liverpool tomorrow as we can beat anyone at home but it be a very tough game
Vardy is always a concern and our high line and been to open is a worry
Leicester have some fine players who go under the radar like nidi and perrira. Two excellent players.
We need to be spot on at the back but I think we will nick it

4th October 2019 at 6:31 pm #49292Liverpool have to drop points eventually and the chances are it will be in a drawn game as accumulation of matches takes their toll. I hope Liverpool win as we could move up to 3rd. Then again we have to beat Bournemouth and that wonβt be easy.

4th October 2019 at 7:27 pm #49297We all make bad signings. City Mangala -Β£40 odd million. Utd, Fred Β£50m ish., Sanchez somewhere around Β£4-500,000 a week and still paying.
What matters is the end product.
Still waiting to see Pepe. Another possible expensive buy not performing although v early days.
Tomorrows games the most interesting on paper is Liverpool v Leicester. I think Liverpool will have too much for them. But what is amazing is that you can go the whole season,lose one game and yet not win the league. Meaning a couple of draws can make all the difference for any team!_____________________________

4th October 2019 at 7:42 pm #49298We all know Liverpool or City will win it, the other 2nd. Both will get a ridiculous number of points, massive goal diff and one will miss out. Then there will be a 25pt gap to 3rd. All very predictable

4th October 2019 at 8:17 pm #49299AnonymousPoch latest comments are not the words of someone who wants to leave, so it seems that it’s nonsense. They obviously have some problems ATM but ya, not Poch.
