The new men need time to gel,I normally say dont judge till we have seen the first games, but with Sunderland and Newcastle recently, it is easy to judge them early on...
You wouldn't expect any more, realistically, than 5 points out of the first 5 we've had. Had Payet not had a stormer tonight, we'd have had a shot of that, we're only 5 games in after all...
For the last 3 years I have predicted Sunderland to stop up every year, when most of my mates and family have said otherwise and I have made that judgment in September each year...
At the risk of looking like a total bell end come May, they will both do enough to stop up this year as well...
BUT...if one gets relegated, the other will drop with them
