They are tough games, particularly the Spurs game, and they could go either way.
They have a few new players and I think its good to get them early in the season before they get chance to settle in.
Let's hope none of the lads, Steven Gerrard in particular, gets injured while on international duty as we need him back in the centre of midfield.
Harry Kewell is a quality player and at only £5m it is the bargain of the century.
But he and Finnan will take time to settle in and we shouldn't expect too much of them at such an early stage.
I'd be satisfied with nine points from the first four games!
