I was interacting with @BlueToff about this, i think we REALLY are on to something here. During intermission against Chelsea they were talking about how we were one of the few teams this season that seemed to really give Chelsea a LOT of problems. If we can stay healthy like the lot across the park do all year, I don't think "top 7" should be the aim anymore.After the Anfield derby we will have played 4 of the "sky 6" all away from home, one of the remaining is against city who we actually don't have the same type of appalling record away against.
Our season and possibly transfer window ambition will be defined over Christmas and January. There is a 8 game run after spurs at goodison over that period where we should legitimately be dissapointed if we don't take three points in each.
Get a result or two in the derby, city away and spurs game then could be a very interesting season for us second half.
