Man, we got shafted again. We play 4 of last season's Top 6 in the first 2 months (Liverpool, City, Leicester and United).

Realistic...
Stirling about to miss a sitter ..

Van Dijk just before he goes through the back of the everton attacker, probably won't even get called for the foul even though its an obvious yellow

Pogba getting manhandled and probably referee will just ignore it ..

Unrealistic
The amount of trouble we would be in if Dan James is tracking back on Salah on the wrong side and wrong half of the field.

Fernandes checking out De Bruyne's new Real Madrid tattoo behind his left knee.

Which would mean you have an great run in to the latter stage of the season? That's where the rubber hits the road.

Yes, and no. Problem is that a good run at the start builds momentum, builds belief. By the time you hit the tail end of the season, it may already be too late if you don't have a solid foundation from earlier in the year.

Perhaps. But I would rather play the more difficult teams earlier on. Just my opinion.

Yeah get that too. Get the difficult games out of the way and then move on. I recall us having a mad unbeaten run recently after getting pumped by City in the first few games of the season. Of course, I'd rather beat them, too. Points are points, and they're the only thing that counts after 38 game weeks, after all.
