Watching the game against Arsenal - when we were not that good in the first half and looking a little out of sorts - I had that feeling that the team were just waking up and it was only a matter of time before we start to go full throttle. I have not felt like that in a long while mainly because I just felt we were a team that could play but not enough brute strength in the team to fight. The signings we have made are all physically big with athletic builds. I loved watching Mane just running and shrugging off the opposition and staying on his feet. None of that Benteke shit where you just fall when someone touches you - just stay on your feet and fight and impose yourself on the opposition (Suarez style).
It feels different - and to be honest regarding our defensive problems in that game - I actually don't think it a big deal against Arsenal. Some of you go back to the days of Rafa with that great midfield but we conceded 4 goals against them at home if I remember even with that 'great' midfield. I think we should judge our defense against the clubs we expect to beat not against the other big guns. The difference this season will be that we will have long periods of domination in midfield. Unlike Skywalker - "I have a GOOD feeling about" this season.
