What we actually hoped for was a comfortable begin. It’s all the time good to get factors on the board early, and that’s particularly necessary for us given our participation on the Membership World Cup. We are going to solely have 2 friendlies the week earlier than we open the season in opposition to Crystal Palace, so we anticipate our group to be gradual out of the blocks in comparison with some others.
We’ve already accepted there will probably be some dropped factors to begin issues off -luckily we’ve a number of London based mostly video games within the first month, so issues are not less than simple on the journey entrance.

One other necessary factor to take a look at is the video games following Champions League matches.
Hopefully taking part in within the Convention League final season not less than ready this group for the two video games every week rhythm they may have this coming season too. The opposition will probably be tougher, however the sample is identical.
Our video games after midweek Champions League clashes are: Man U, Liverpool, Sunderland, Wolves, Arsenal, Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham.
That’s fairly ugly, all instructed. At the least these last two weeks are somewhat softer, which means if we’re nonetheless battling to get into the qualification positions, we are able to give attention to that and never the league.
