I don't think he made any bold claim. Many people have come to the same conclusion and some will also always say one is better than the other. They are the kings of this U.S. soccer era and will be remembered as such but comparing these players is apples to oranges.
A match for bench-players to stake their claim. I'm looking for Niko to get a chance on Tuesday. This is a team he can get off to a good start against and get instant confidence. We need to come out hot.
QPR - 3 pts. @Fulham - 3 pts. Villa - 3 pts. @WBA - 3 pts. Bolton - 3 pts. @Stoke - 0 pts. Sunderland - 3 pts. Chelsea - 1 pt. @Norwich - 3 pts. @Swansea - 1 pt. WBA - 3 pts. Everton Wolves TOTAL - 26 pts., GD +14 Next up: Yank on Yank violence (Donovan v. Friedel) F*ck it. I'm predicting a win.
i'm already good (26 pts predicted and achieved) but will gladly take the OTHER 6 points we're going to get COYS!
Everton and Wolves are still left on the schedule. 6 points are definitely not automatic. I can see 4 being the strongest possibility.
Everton will be a tough one, they're typically doing better than they were at the start of the season and our injuries have piled up.
Yep, Everton will be the hardest of the three homes game we have in a row. With injuries to Sandro and Gallas it's going to be very hard indeed.
the players will have to up their games while those lucky to attend the matches at WHL will have to sing even louder so we can achieve maximum pts.
I think Wolves will be the toughest. They'll be well rested, we'll have two(!) days of rest after Everton. And physical side that they are, Wolves are the type of team you don't want to play on short rest. Everton were pretty unimpressive against Bolton. Maybe it was the swirling wind, but their attack was the polar opposite of Spurs'. Couldn't connect two passes, lots of long balls, very ugly. Their marking was also poor.
QPR - 3 pts. @Fulham - 3 pts. Villa - 3 pts. @WBA - 3 pts. Bolton - 3 pts. @Stoke - 0 pts. Sunderland - 3 pts. Chelsea - 1 pt. @Norwich - 3 pts. @Swansea - 1 pt. WBA - 3 pts. Everton - 3 pts. Wolves TOTAL - 29 pts., GD +16 Everton looked about as poor as they have in quite a while, no threat on goal really. Quality win for our boys. Wolves will be very difficult. Not team to play off of short rest.
After this week our schedule should be fairly easy to navigate. We have caught up our game in hand and we are out of two of the cups.
I am confident with the wolves match although I do realize they are going to be a tough nut to break.
