7/10 considering last season

7 is for helping our mood, giving us hope again, positive play, and draws are now 2 lost points, not 1 gained.

I'm happy with how were going, it was never going to be an overnight fix, my one gripe is zonal marking

Look at how we lost a 2 goal lead and only drew at home against 2 of the weakest teams in the leagues over the last two weeks.. So yes, I think West ham will see us as a great chance to get 3 points...

An you tell me who the two teams are we drew at home against , because I’m baffled at that one

Can't really tell, Jags sending off completely changed the game against Wolves. Southampton wasn't a great performance, but we just about won the game. I think the Bournmouth game was very worrying, as it shows how easy we can mess up a game, which is a bit worrying when we have to play Arsenal, United, City, Liverpool and Chelsea away from home on the run. Huddersfield was just one of those days when a team is determined to get a draw and sits back, it's very hard to brak down a team like that. While Tosun is an alright player, I don't think he has enough influence on games, like Lukaku did. I still thing we should of brought in another 25 million striker and put DCL on loan. I'm still not sure on snides, Davies and a few others. We're still miles away from the top 6, but not as bad as last season, which doesn't say much. I'd give us a 5/10.

Dcl is our top scorer

We are 4 matches into the season, and into Silva's reign, with many of the transfers not having played due to injury. Before the season I suspected it should take 10-12 matches for us to see an adequate implementation of Silva's "approach" and "methods" (i.e., his philosophy), and these 10th and 12th PL matches are (I believe) at Stamford Bridge and Anfield. So let's see then what we make of Silva's men.

TL;DR, too early to tell

Our next six are:

West Ham (H)
Arsenal (A)
Southampton (H) (League Cup)
Fulham (H)
Leicester (A)
Palace (H)

Anything less than 6-8 points and place in the 4th Round of the cup and that's another poor return. We could be in a less-than-ideal situation if we head into November still looking far from convincing whilst the difficulty of the fixtures on paper starts ramping up.

West ham, Fulham, Palace at home and Leicester, Arsenal away. I think we should be looking at 9-10 points and a place in the fourth round as a minimum.
