      A few weeks ago they were on top of the world and ready to build Ange a statue out of all his manager of the month awards. 4 losses in 5 have brought them crashing back to reality and I’m absolutely loving every moment of it.

      With 4 teams ahead of them and another 4 right behind them (within 3 points) their next few games are going to be VERY important.

    Am I crazy in thinking City won’t win the league? They lost 5 and tied 5 last year and already have 3 of each this year. They would need to win 19 of 23 games to get 89 points, and I just can’t see them doing that.

    Interesting Newcastle lost 3-0 to Everton. Wouldn’t have predicted that scoreline

      I was expecting Newcastle to build upon last year, and be what Villa is this year. Top 6 is looking really competitive.

        Hell, I’d argue anyone West Ham and up have a shout at top 4, only six points between them and Man City in fourth.

          not likely, not at all, but there’s definitely a chance, especially if injury woes continue and one of those kicks on.

    Jonas actually won manager of the month… I mean yeah on paper it’s deserved, but has anyone seen how we actually played???

      Lacasse won it, is the way I’m thinking about it XD

      To be fair, he did contribute, for sure. I’ll allow it, no one was particularly stand-out.

    I’m imagining 6’ 6" Kai Havertz just letting it rip, putting his foot through the ball and shooting a thunderbolt but he just doesn’t have that. I don’t have a word for it. What is it that lets some players have a propensity to taking shots from distance? The force he could generate with his long legs 😮‍💨makes me wonder.

    He’s like a pair of parallel sticks trying to play football.
