Not anyone can win this year's title but my belief is that if any of 6 teams puts in a 10 game stretch with a haul between 26 and 30 points they will really take some catching.
Liverpool and City are still favourites but there are now maybe 3 or 4 other teams who could gain belief from the lack of solidity of those 2
I look at our squad and think we are a player short but we have the manager who will see an opportunity.
The games against West Ham and Burnley will say a lot about us.
Prior to the United game we were hopeful but suddenly and nearly from nowhere we are being touted as outside bets for the title. 4 games in!!
How we handle it is the question. Teams will now sit back. They have no choice. Are we good enough??

If teams sit back then they are going to be fucked ,
You only have to look at the Newcastle game ,
9 times out of 10 that’s us taking a 4-0 lead in at half time, Everton Vs Liverpool next weekend is the game to watch, if Everton win then it’s going to be tough for Pool to retain the title .
Newcastle were average on the day, we were profligate and to cap it off we got screwed over. I doubt however other teams would be quite as accommodating as Newcastle were in that first half. But equally not forgetting that on the day I thought we were good but not brilliant.
Liverpool can lose next week although I don't think they will but even if they did they are more than good enough to go on that 10 game run I talked about.
We have 3 or 4 players who have it in them to grab this season and us right up there. Let's hope and see if one or two rise to the challenge, but the chance appears to be there.
I think they well could.
I can’t remember them being so convincingly torn apart as they were against Villa. how they recover from that will set the tone for the remainder of their season imo.
one key thing is teams don’t think they’re invincible anymore
If Everton do a Leicester this season I will lose my sh!t.........
It would prove that the football Gods hate us.
The media hate us but I can see them trying to push "The Fairytale" of Everton winning the league.......
I've said it once and I'll say it again.... I will lose my sh!t!
Didn't they lose Richarlison & Allan in their last match?
Everton V Liverpool is a real puzzler on what would be the best result.
The heart says an Everton win but the last thing we need is for them to build up a head of steam in this strange old season.
Best we can hope for is a hard battle 0 0 draw.
Sure... I'm just curious... They might be weakened against the dippers (and beyond).
VVD out for several months...I’m not the optimistic type but I really feel this might be the year...
I think anyone can win it, but it won't be us.
