Expectations

Top 8? So lets just lower our expectations tremendously to avoid disappointment lol.

8th place would mean Eddie Howe gets the sack. I'm not saying I want him to be sacked, but 8th place would not satisfy the owners.

No european football at all would mean we lose 2-3 of our players to CL clubs, and we have to start rebuilding again.

Top 6 should be absolute minimum requirement based on what we've already achieved.

I had no delusions of winning a title or anything like that. I expected 4-5th place, which is perfectly fine as an expectation.

We had a tough run of games to start, We beat villa and lost to City and Liverpool. It's no big deal. We never beat City or Liverpool and mostly lose.

That's my expectations mate was top 10 last year.
 
Top 8 would be a good finish, Liverpool and Chelsea will be much stronger this year, Spuds look better under Ange. Villa and Brighton look good, West Ham have spent the Rice money well too. I think ourselves and Manure might struggle to get near the top 4 spots. I agree with Gary Neville when he said we need a killer in attack.

We have to stop wasting good chances. Barnes was surely brought in to be one of those elements. Tonali replacing Longstaff, again, should improve the output from that particular position.

Barnes LW - Big Joe - Bruno - Tonali - Gordon RW

Surely that's how we have to shape up moving forward. If either winger isn't working, Wilson on, Isak out wide.
