    I get what you're saying but it doesn't matter what Slot's style is if Partey decides to sit on Diaz's knee and put.him out for months, or Robbo gets his shoulder dislocated etc etc

    I believe in being positive. Sometimes you have to be realistic along with that positivity. Don't underestimate the mental burnout due to workload either. We've got a massive amount of games including extra in the CL.

    We took a long time to agree to meet said fee and tried to negotiate splitting it out over 2 years.

    It is really quite possible and probable that zubimendo did in fsct tell hughes he was up.for it then turned roundnand said lfc are offering 150k sociadad. What are you offering.

    There's absolutely nothing there contradictory St all.

    Yes but spurs also have the same back 4 with full backs doing their thing and the same midfield and the same sort of forwards with solanke added.

    If all the injuries are back then they can add to thst 66 points. Don't discount them.

    Chelsea still have Palmer. If he's fit all season then there's an 11 in there thst can be more consistent. It can't be much worse.

    Newcastle and utd were 10 points off 70. They can improve.by 3 game going form losses to wins as well.

    Anyone can improve. The question is who will.

    We have to work the squad and you'd wonder how much slot really realises about the intensity so far. The pattern will emerge as the season goes on.

    We will be relying on endo and Jones and tsimiaks at times this season and the drop off when thry come in is going to be that wins or loses us our chances.

    Like I say, could do that. Or could get no injuries, arsenal barely had any last year. Leicester when won the title did so with pretty much same 11 every week as avoided injuries. It’s not unheard of and the style does help with muscle injuries rather than impact which are obviously things you can’t control.

    Leicester didn't have much of a cup run that year did they? No Europe so 1 game a week.

    If you dont have the intensity then it's poss8ble.

    What do you expect them to say? "The players we have aren't good enough, but hey-ho."

    Nah, just don't promise cresendos.

    Maybe start wearing sack cloth and pretending to be as broke as Everton.

    Both will be more of a threat this season than last season. So will United.

    I said last Sunday, even before we got the 2nd goal, I'm happy with the football we've played in the last 2 games (or at least since the 2nd half at Ipswich). I KNOW IT'S ONLY BEEN IPSWICH AND BRENTFORD - but I'm more than happy if Slot gets top 4 (or even 5) in his first season, and hopefully does okay in the CL and one of the domestic cups. But FSG/Hughes/Edwards have been abysmal in this window bar a little Shaquiri-like deal at the death. Even that could turn out to be a bit like Jermaine Pennant, but we'll see.

    Maybe, or they’ll battle it out for 6th 7th and 8th

    Still think they'll push for Top Four. Might be a bit too early to say this, but perhaps all those clubs I mentioned will be pushing for fourth place rather than 3rd and 4th. But yeah, humble pie for my tea tonight. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Mate, you've put it out there now, let's go and do Arsenal and city in the same fashion.

    There's massive scope for improvement for some sides.

    But they can all go on a run

    Remember these sides were absolutely terrible last season and were ranging from 66 to 60 points.

    I know with the awful relegation candidates last season that points total was probably inflated slightly but it's still only a small bit of improvement in consistency to really go for a push for 4th for any of them

    Brighton have had a nice start.

    Lfc
    Villa
    Spurs
    Chelsea
    Utd
    Newcastle
    West ham

    Was last seasons order

    It's a big ask for all of those clubs to e getting close to 70. Something has to give somewhere.

    We've had a fairly easy start to get accustomed to Slots plans. Fortunately United didn't try to give us a challenge... We could have inertia well and truly on our side before our first major trial (not that anyone is easy).
