3) we've the best goal difference,
4) we're one of 4 teams still unbeaten in the league when only 1 other is a Top-4 team

Come on ... we've never been in this position for the last ... nah, last 5 ... nope, last 10 seasons.
Moreover, this is Portsmouth ... who remains unbeaten after 3 games - having already played the scums & us.
Last season, this same team only lost 3 times at home ...

So, let's just continue to push from the Kop & let Rafa do his job.

I'll have to agree with ALL of bro KingEros' points here... Also, did you guys notice how stevie G became almost anonymous (which is why Rafa rested him) after his excellent link-up with Torres which almost resulted in a goal? Had that resulted in a goal, everyone will be creaming about how Rafa got his rotation policy spot-on once again...

I'm also extremely satisfied with our start to the season, when one keeps in perspective our previous starts for the last ... nah, last 5 ... nope, last 10 saesons (gonna quote you here, bro KingEros...)

And like what bro KingEros mentioned above, let's keep pushing on, take each game as it comes, and we'll talk about league table positions come nov-dec (to take a leaf outta Rafa's quots)... For sure!!
