That guy sure is wise

2 down, let's cross another one off the list tonight!

[Wingman]

Can’t see past The Ev right now.

[TAA66]

Barring an injury nightmare, I think number 20 is ours. 

[Red Beret]

We picked up where we left off.

[Crosby Nick]

How many points wins it this year do you reckon?

[killer-heels]

How many points wins it this year do you reckon?

85. Absolute maximum.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Three for three after a tough start.  Fantastic from the boys. 

I reckon a relatively low points total wins it this year.  I think we will win it with 89 points and City will be scraping 80 in second place.

[Crosby Nick]

85. Absolute maximum.

76 from 35 then. Sounds doable.

[Barneylfc∗]

85. Absolute maximum.

I was confident before I seen your declaration. I genuinely reckon we're fucked now after reading it.

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Can’t see past The Ev right now.

Every year there is an un-fancied team that starts well and is up there with the Big Boys.

We just have to enjoy it while it lasts and accept that the Everton trophy-winning machine will eventually pull away from us...

[ScubaSteve]

Hahah loving this..long way to go but 3 games and 3 wins means we’re on the right track for no.20

We’ll need at least 85+ points this season

[ScouserAtHeart]

82 would've won it last season. So yeah 80-85 points should be enough again

[oxenstierna]

its happening gif?

[Snail]

Is right.

[Red Beret]

its happening gif?

[Bergersrightwingviews]

Honestly believe we are at the start of a dynasty, best manager in the world by far with a world-class team, the squad is getting better year by year. I'm not sure how our rivals can cope, this is only the beginning.

It's brilliant, isn't it?

I just hope we make the most of it and grab as many trophies as we can while it lasts.

Absolutely no reason why we can't put Number 7 and Numbers 20 and 21 on the wall over the next 3-5 years.

A few domestic cups would be okay too.  Would love a double one year at least.  This team and manager deserve it.

[DangerScouse]

How many points wins it this year do you reckon?

90

[JackWard33]

What happened to our tough fixture list to start the season?

[iamnant]

3 down, 35 to go.

[killer-heels]

My biggest concern is whether some fans can get into the stadium to watch us win this title again.

[wige]

Written a few posts recently saying that our rivals look weak, we we're better positioned, but it's only 2/3 games in so not time for sweeping statements.

Fuck that.

We're head and shoulders the best team in the country. No one comes close. We're winning this league and it's gonna take a few key injuries to stop the CL double as well.

[MD1990]

The international breaks will be key.

Some countries have 3 games in 2 weeks & increased chance of getting covid.

Brillant that Salah,Keita & Mane are not back at Int football until November, Thiago probably wont be off with Spain as well, Same with Hendo.
So some fresh players for Everton.

[Kopenhagen]

Think it's ours to lose. We just look so much sharper than everyone else, the front three in particular.

[simesy]

85. Absolute maximum.

We'll hit 90 again. These boys are winners now with a winning mentality. You only have to look at mane's substitution to see the absolute desire these players still have, not only to win, but really smashing the opposition.

That's a massive help. However, I feel that the reigning English league and world club cup champions and recent European Cup winners don't possess the winning mentaleteh of Ole's serial winners

Fingers crossed that whatever effects us will also affect our rivals.

*no idea if I got effect and affect right there

You didn't both 'affect'

The effect of the international break may be players missing through injury. Let's hope if that happens are rival are affected int the same way.

I'm now done endearing you to me through a midnight English lesson.

Hope it doesn't affect your opinion of me

[farawayred]

How many points wins it this year do you reckon?

87. It's tough to treepeat a 90+ season, plus who'd care about the total when the rivals will have all dropped out by the end of April.

[Bob Sacamano]

Depends whether City had a blip last year or if this is really who they are. Chelsea and United have plenty of talent (especially if united get sancho) but neither appear ready to achieve the 85 + points it will probably take to challenge.

So that leaves City. Despite that horrific loss to Leicester I still think they’re capable of 90-95 points. They’re underlying numbers last year were still dominant (and much better than ours) despite the low point total.

I’ll say 93 points to win it.

[coutinho and firmino]

I dont know how anyone can say City will beat us to the title with a straight face. Defensively they really are pathetic.

The biggest threat to #20 is a COVID null and void.

[Scarlet`]

Are we fighting alongside Everton and Brendan’s Leicester for the title?

[rscanderlech]

Based on the mentality we are showing and the squad depth, I'm pretty sure we are winning at least two trophies this season...

[RAWK Meltdown #1]

Let's just say that....

....If this year's title is gonna have any other name than LFC on it, then that winning team is gonna have to play right outta their skins....and to a standard that even WE will be able to applaud and marvel at.

I'm looking....

It's early days...

I ain't seeing any other team I can envision "being" that victor.

Other than us!!

 

[him_15]

Nope of our opponent looks remotely good enough to challenge us to the title this year, we would smash the title again.

[Slippers]

Are we fighting alongside Everton and Brendan’s Leicester for the title?

Let's see how things look on Boxing Day...

[rob1966]

Can’t see past The Ev right now.

I'm not looking down

[AndyMuller]

It will be wrapped up by Christmas.

[redk84]

Before the season started I couldn't see how we could be that bad that the rest close the gap, even if we weren't as good as the past 2 seasons. Barring injuries etc. City the only worry.

While the same is true today morning for me, I am much more confident
We look really good and others not so much

[Dull Tools]

Lets see how we are after 5 games. Play Everton and Villa away from home next who have both won all their games and will be tough games as they were last year.

If we can get through both of those games with 4-6 points it's an incredible start.

I didn't think we would win our first 3 so its all positive now.
