Obviously preditions are based on the squad as it stands today. Should we add more quality before the end of August then feel free to revise and update how you see this season going.
For me I believe we are a stronger outfit that last season and will have a stronger bench. There wasnt much between us and Palace or Brighton and Southampton, so a slightly better team this year should reach 13th with some ease Lampard is crap and Brentford with no Erikson to save them this year plus 3 newly promoted clubs
Think we'll finish below Palace & Brighton for sure. The rest you've mentioned we shall see but those fxitures are probably our season in a nutshell and it definitely could go either way IMHO.
1. Man City 2. Liverpool 3. Spurs 4. Arsenal 5. Chelsea 6. West Ham 7. Scum 8. A Villa 9. Newcastle 10. Brighton 11. C Palace 12. Southampton 13. Leicester 14. Leeds United 15. Notts Forest 16. Everton 17. Wolves 18. Brentford 19. Fulham 20. Bournemouth
I’m going to say 15th. I think we’ve a stronger squad but I think losing Raphinha makes us weaker up top, we don’t have anyone that can produce some magic or something from nothing and for that reason we’ll struggle. A lot of teams we need to be beating aren’t bad at defending and can be pretty solid at times and usually have quick players, as we’ve seen this pre season we’re struggling against poor teams in transition and we don’t even have a LB yet. However I do think we are in a better place than Everton, Southampton, Forest, Fulham and Bournemouth which is why I think we’ll finish in 15th place.
For the exact reasons you've stated the possibility of us being relegated is quite high. Or way too high for comfort given the money we've spent which shows more needs to be done before the transfer window closes.
By the end of October we shall have played 3 top six teams, on which two of them are away to Manure and horrible scouse cnuts Victimpool, two teams who hammered us last season, let’s see where we are by then. I am predicting 12th (if we keep the injuries to a minimum).
Well my prediction is around 12-14 th anything better would be a bonus and a job well done by everyone at LS11, and then push on in 23/24 season to get us back on track for Radz original five year plan, although anything beyond that will probably need a billionaire take over, but you never know.
I think 17th if he keeps his narrow system, I’m not keen on it and our fullbacks aren’t pacy enough. 15th if he goes 4-2-3-1.
