    OK, so we're nearly a fifth through the season already. We've taken in the opening 6 games. Based on these performances and results, where do you think we're gonna end up?
    Obviously we'd love to repeat last season's antics, but with the rigorous Europa League schedule, the loss of the surprise factor and a greater sense of pressure weighing down some of our players (Cisse, Tiote, Cabaye to name a few...), what do you think's gonna happen?

    Obviously slow starts can happen, and really we haven't had one. I'd call it an indifferent start. Hell, four years ago, this would have been a brilliant start! I'm still thinking we can grab 7th place, and push Liverpool hard for 6th.

    What do ye reckon?

    Look, we've been laying **** and still getting points. When it clicks, and it will eventually, we're going to murder some team

    I'd say we are par for the course so all is not lost, however we can only get away with paying referees for so long! at some point the lads will have to start playing football again.

    Who knows I find we win when we don't expect to and vice versa so I'm betting we beat Man United 3-1

    It's far too early to predict it. We can start predicting around Christmas.

    We've played badly and gotten results, which is a promising sign in a bad run.

    We need to be patient.

    We played at 65-70% vs Everton first half and we could have scored 5 goals, we raped Everton's usually tight defence.

    We should have beaten Norwich by more than one, but it's not anyones fault but ours for not taken chances, as we know we're more than capable of scoring goals.

    We weren't that bad first half, and the loss of Saylor was when we were really exposed.

    If Saylor had have stayed on, I think we would have gotten the 3pts comfortable IMHO.

    I refuse to be drawn into these type of discussions until the 10 game mark.

    6th or 7th based on what we already know from last season and what we've seen this season. I still think we'll hit our straps at some stage when we get all the big players on the pitch.

    Where we finish will come down to:

    1. Whether we can keep Ba in Jan
    2. Whether we can keep everyone else in Jan
    3. Whether we can bring in a defender or two in Jan
    4. Whether Ba and Cisse can start working together
    5. Whether Cabaye can find his form from last year
    6. Whether Benny can stay on form
    7. Whether Everton get a few injuries, their squad is so thing they'll struggle if Fellaini/Baines etc. are out
    8. Whether Liverpool can start playing properly, in which case they might be up there

    So, fo those reasons, I'm gonna say we'll finish somewhere between 20th and 1st
