I know its only two games into the season and also against what you would call "weaker opposition", but I'm very impressed with how we've been playing so far. Even in the pre-season we looked like a different team. We have basically the same players from last season who know each others game inside out. The ability of our midfield quartet (whoever they are) to swap positions with ease also fills me with alot of optimism. Theres so much more movement off the ball and we've still to see Zhirkov and Joe cole get in on the action. Deco looks revitalised, Ballack strolled that game tonight, Essien and Lamps were as reliable as ever. Ash and Bos bombing up the wings....fuck me....unbelievable. Fulham, Burnley and Stoke are our next three opponents. I'm expecting another 9 points before we take on Spurs. Two weeks after that...Liverpool at home. If we're sitting on 24 points after those games I'll be ecstatic. Its a tough ask, but its not beyond us.
