What would be regarded as progress and acceptable for de Boers new playing style.

Looking at the fixtures, I would be happy with 9 points.

I think it's difficult to pinpoint a points total but if we adapting to the new style and have a win or two. Then I don't think we can complain.

Huddersfield, Swansea, Burnley and Southampton in there. I think 7 points would be alright.

18 - simples

Actually 9 would be a good target

3pts Home to Huddersfield
0pts Away to Liverpool
3pts Home to Swansea
1pt Away to Burnley
1pt Home to Southampton
0pts Away to Man City
----
8pts

Now, we're easily capable of getting a point or three at Liverpool, losing to the Swans at home (a lot depends on whether they still have Sigurdsson) and beating Burnley away. Over the season we need a point a game - plus 2 - to make 40 points, so I think 8 points is not a bad return from this stretch.

However, considering that immediately after we play Man Utd away, Chelsea at home, Newcastle away, West Ham at home and Spurs away, we're unlikely to move the needle much thereafter. It behooves us to try to get to double-figures from the first 6 games.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

We did okay against some of those teams last season.

Nine would be good, and would put us on target for 57 by the end of the season, and no worries about the drop.

Or is it Newcastle "Howay"?

We'll get more than nothing; hopefully a lot more. But the 40-point target is going to be attained more on the backs of the soft fixtures than the hard, so we need to do well in those soft fixtures.
