    They’ve played us, Liverpool, Chelsea and United and are still undefeated, sure they’ve been lucky but their performances look good as well unlike us.

      They haven’t played Chelsea so I don’t know where you got that from. They’ve played us United and Liverpool. Importantly they didn’t actually look very good in any of those games (they also didn’t look good against Brentford on GW1). United are dreadful but they probably should have been 2-0 down, we handed them a draw and Liverpool were down to 9. Other than that they’ve played all of the bottom 4, Fulham and Brentford.

      They have 7 proper tests coming up. If they get 5+ wins in that run I will have to change my tune and take them seriously. Have they exceeded my expectations of them coming into the season? Yeah, fair play to Ange he’s done great work. But where do I see them finishing? Between 4th and 5th. Their squad is thin (lose Madison and they’re done) and whenever they’ve been truly tested in games they haven’t won.

      They only looked good against United. Against us they really should’ve been 2-0 or even 3-0 by HT if we were more clinical.

      Against Liverpool they stunk out the whole place and seemingly played worst against 10 and 9 men Liverpool and ultimately relied on sheer luck.

      Keep an eye out for their next 5 games starting with Palace away this Friday night

        Next 7 imo. West Ham are always up for a trip to Spurs and then it’s Newcastle.

      They haven’t played Chelsea and played against Liverpool for the majority against 10 and eventually 9 men lol.
