Last Tuesday night I was at a Conference South game Woking v Chelmsford. Woking had just gone ahead and the fans started singing "we're gonna win the league". Now call me silly but barely 2 hours into a new season seems to me a little early to be singing that one.
I was scouring through some articles today and there were one or two that suggested Spurs were now a genuine threat to the top 4 and Liverpool didn't have what it takes etc. Again one game doesn't make a season does it? Liverpool could well go on a thirty match unbeaten run and Spurs could go on at lose at Hull, Burnley and Portsmouth.
Where Liverpool will rely heavily on Gerrard and Torres, I think we need Modric and Palacios to be fit and firing for us this season. I am still worried about our defence with King and Woodgate being injury prone. This is a squad game and to rely on one or two will leave us and any other team at a serious disadvantage.
Still I am very happy with how we played against Liverpool, there is still room for improvement, particularly finishing, but an encouraging display. Let's hope we will get all three points against Hull this week.
COYS!
