Granted, it was brilliant and those two sides at that time were brilliant but the big clash now is Liverpool v Manchester City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 September 2019 Share Posted 28 September 2019 Tbf, I always look for Arsenal vs Liverpool, think that's their biggest game as it's always usually a thriller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, so much for aiming to secure a top 6 place if that's the general consensus. With the exception of the defending season after winning the league, If you take into account the last 2 seasons, our first 6 games' results pretty much dictated that we'd finish where we did. But this time around, we've had our best start since 2015. Nearly 2 months into the season, another couple of games, with good results will pretty much mean a top 6 spot (or even top 4) is ours to blow. Had Everton won and we beat Newcastle, we'd be heading into the Liverpool game knowing an upset of them would shave it down to 4 points. It's academic, but I think we should be living in the moment and not frothing at the mouth over bought teams like Man City. That's the kind of mindset that saw us win the league.

Yes, but it's the psychological boost it would gives us that can't be underestimated. 10 games into the 2015/16 season and I knew we would finish well inside the top 6. I didn't know then that we'd win, but I knew a top 6 place was ours to blow. We're only 3 games away from that now and we've actually played several of the big clubs already, with nothing that showed we didn't belong.

If we're looking to finish top 6 or top 4 our results are going to get us there, not Man City losing. We win three of the next 4, with Liverpool being the one you'd think we probably won't and I think we can start looking at very decent final position, wherever we are in comparrison the top 2.

Your point is well made. Perhaps I'm getting carried away and of course it's academic now. But yes, winning 3 out of the next 4 would take us to the 10 game mark and usually decides who most of the teams that will finish top 6 are. Ok, we have to start with tomorrow, but if our last 6 performances are anything to go by, we should get the job done. I really think we can finish top 4.
