duncanmckenzieismagic Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Happy with that for our first game I think that is the worst possible opening day fixture we could have had The newly promoted teams always start off well and invarouably fade as the season goes on, so to get last seasons Championship winners away first game isnt a good thing. They will be well up for it especially being at home Think its a really tough start overall, best we get our new signings in early!

Lucky we have a couple of easy home games to follow in case we drop points . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in principle, but we have to play them twice anyway, and if we want advance we need to win the tricky fixtures no matter what time of the season.

Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal away would all have been alot worse. Leicester will make alot of new signings in the summer which will take time to gel, we will have pretty much the same players who started for us most last season barring Barry and Lukaku. I think we will win it, we will need to really with the following 2 fixtures. Nov and Dec could be big months for us looking at the fixtures.

Toffee_in_LA Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 February will be tough with the derby and chelsea/arsenal away. But we have a pretty good run in after that. Hopefully we can take advantage of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBlue Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Tough start for sure in the first batch of games and then February. Plus, at least we get a home game for the last game of the season. Isn't this the first time in years that we have played Liverpool away first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been better to get those games in early before they get into their stride The newly promoted sides always seem to do well in the first month of the season. I think they just get so pumped up for it and get through on adrenalin alone MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Isn't this the first time in years that we have played Liverpool away first? Good spot. Season 2002/3 was the last time we played them away first - December 2002, 0-0. The return at Goodison was April 2003, 1-2, Rhino got our goal from a penalty.
