How Dry should our Powder be?

If you trust him, what does him saying in April he expects to be challenging for the title this season and then a month later him sitting on the fence and using loads of caveats mean for our season, do you give a shit or is there more mental gymnastics to be done to explain away the lowering of expectations and who is to blame for it?

Eh? What kind of nothing response is this?...speaking of mental gymnastics 😆

If I trust him? Mate I'm not silly enough to take his comments as complete gospel, you should know how it works - managers always do this - they'll say different things to the media to cover all bases, Pep, Klopp, Arteta, Tuchel, you name it they all do it. If you're silly enough to 100% put full trust in what managers say then I've got a bridge to sell you...

But if you use a tiny bit of critical thinking you'll probably realise what he's trying to do but you're way past the point of doing that with this manager so it's understandable why you're being totally myopic when it comes to his comments so...
 
We had brilliant start last season, were top or second or there about after 10/11 games. We were mediocre for the last 27 games or so.

Where will we end up if the form of last 27 games carry on for 38 PL games this season?

The question becomes reality if we don't sign couple of decent forward players. Son, Kulu, Richy, Werner or Johnson didn't do well last season.
Average on points after the first 10 was 1.42 per game, 54 pts over a season which would have seen us finish 9th.

You can keep your bridge mate, I never once said I 100% or 1% trust what the manager says, I said he himself was very loud about being a title race this season, and now he's either backing down from that talk because he feels he hasn't been backed as per his words or because he doesn't think he can live up to his talk at the end of last season when I seem to remember his advice to us was we should be winning things if we want to stop our rivals winning them.

It's already established that you seem to think we've always been a banter club that shouldn't have ambitions of challenging because that's what you've been told so lets leave it here before my negativity bias infects you.
