We're almost there!
That Summer football break - some need it, some hate it!
What about you?
Whichever category you fall into I am sure right now you are starting to feel a mix of pre-season excitement and nerves.
I feel we had a great warm up game in the Community Shield and can we believe it, the Premier League is back at Anfield on Friday! I felt a wave of nerves and excitement just typing that ha ha
I am going to refrain from having a moan about a Friday night fixture, which will be followed by a Monday night fixture (refrain from moaning Matthew...) but rather see it as an opportunity to get 3 points in the bag early!
How excited or nervous do you get for the start of a new season?
It is definitely an equal mix of the two for me, and going into the season as Premier League Champions will bring huge pressure and expectation on the players, but it is also an opportunity to harvest the "Champions" title and instil more fear into the opponent.
I think a ferocious Anfield atmosphere is vital come Friday night and will help give the team the confidence to kick on and get off to a good start. Winning breeds winning and there is no better time to get the momentum going than with the first game of the season.
Roll on Friday and let's do this! YNWA!
