Sutekh South Coast Royal Not a bad start for a team destined to not even make the top 4 according to some.
Played 9 won 8 goals 17 against 3.
So far , so good.
October is going to show how good they actually are with games v Cheatsea and the Arse. Manage to get through those fairly unscathed then nobody should be saying they won't make top 4. Personally think though that this month is where their cr@p summer in the transfer window will catch up with them.
I think they are in a decent spot.
The squad does look a little light. Having been a big fan in his early days, I can admit now that Nunez flatters to deceive. Definitely seems to be one of those who has already peaked. A few strings to his bow but will never add any more. Any injury that sees him starting regularly is a problem.
Midfield is in slightly better nick. The Gravenberch-Mac Allister axis has been electric, the former in particular. They will want to wrap both of them in cotton wool as much as possible. Mac Allister in particular seems to take a lot of heavy fouls. None of Jones, Endo or Elliott are as good, albeit Curtis Jones has been in very good form of late.
Slot the first Liverpool manager to win eight out of his first nine games. So he has done well, but yes, testier fixtures to come - in fact its a pretty tough run now for two months after Palace this weekend. Chelsea (h), Leipzig (a), Arsenal (a), Brighton (a), Brighton (h), Leverkusen (h), Villa (h), Southampton (a), Real Madrid (h), City (h), Newcastle (a). Crikey.
