Will be interesting to see how Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa go against clubs battling relegation

Simply need to pick up 3 points here. Not because I think we're better than Bournemouth (I don't) but we need some wins. Especially at home.

I don't disagree. Need to start somewhere though.
We've got that horror run later in the season, have to be ahead before then.
Ideally Cooper is sacked any day now but I won't hold my breath.

Feels like Liverpool have had the softest start to a season in history. Have they played a team in the top half yet?

You just drew 2-2 with Arsenal and have had some reasonable results, why on earth would he be anywhere near being sacked?

Oh yeah forgot about those last two goals.
Too late in the game for me. Point stands you've had some pretty decent results given how terrible you thought your season was going to go. Probably time to admit you went into this season basically just thinking you were going to have a terrible time and have your mind set on it regardless of what actually happens. You've been overly negative basically ever since you went up, even pre-emptively complaining about a points penalty that didn't ever eventuate. If you're not going to try to muster a shred of confidence what's the point?

Forest, who they lost to.
Now watch me regret that comment as we do the same on the weekend.
I can see Forest making life difficult for a lot of top half teams this season.
Chelsea just need to eliminate the defensive brain farts. Going forward they are travelling better than anybody right now.

We've had 3 draws? Pretty decent results is stretching it. We also struggled to beat the mighty Walsall in the cup. Forgive me for not getting excited about snagging a 1-1 draw against Spurs on the first day of the season.Oh yeah forgot about those last two goals.
I have no problem admitting I went into this season negative and expecting this. It's eventuating exactly how I thought it would. Cooper was a terrible appointment and nothing I've watched has changed my opinion on that. At least with Maresca, he got results. I liked his style personally, others didn't. But he was successful.
Muster a shred of confidence? My first post in this thread was saying we needed to win against Bournemouth at home. I'm not getting around actively cheering against us. I'd love to see us get 3 points on the weekend. But I'll rightfully call us out for being shit when Bournemouth inevitably best us.

Why are you so fixated on your second string not knocking off a Walsall side who have been in cracking form and were up for a Cup game against a PL side? It's such a weird game to get hung up on as wanting Cooper sacked as a result.
Saying you need to beat Bournemouth as if anything less is a failure is a pretty negative slant IMO. Bournemouth are a very good side. A draw would be fine.
We usually struggle against Southampton, hopefully it's not the case this week. Given how badly they are going we should be wiping the floor with them.

Just end the season already, no interest, Villa gonna stuff us 4-0.
Villa hardly ever beat United. Even when you’re shit you beat us.

Guessing you haven’t seen any of us this season? We’re relegation fodder.

We’re pretty close, only Southampton have scored less goals than us. Actually isn’t there a stat that Everton have more points than us in the last 15 PL games?
We’re atrocious.

Oh I know lol. I rate the original comment lol. But Southampton ****ed us season before last. Hopefully not an issue this time.

Yeah we have had a super soft start, at least we've negotiated it well enough outside of the shock loss at home to Forest.
If we were in 4th-6th right now with quite a few dropped points, it would be a disaster.

Why wouldn't I be? It was yet another poor performance against a side we should be clearly better than. It was a dire watch.
A draw would be fine? So which are the teams I should be expecting a win against if we are to survive? We aren't going to draw our way to survival.
At some point, draws aren't enough. If we aren't of the belief we can beat Bournemouth at home, we may as well not be in the Premier League at all.
