It's not just the BBC. Many others don't even have us in the Top 4
Ehh they have the same problems they had last season. Ibra certainly wasn't a disaster up front. Their problems were the same as they had been under LVG. Possession amounting to nothing. I don't really see how Matic and Lukaku change that. Lukaku is not really the sort to create something out of nothing and Pogba is not really a playmaker. Someone like Özil or De Bruyne is what they really need.
We definitely don't have the best squad. That is City by some distance. We're still too short of reliable quality in midfield to be considered the best squad though when everyone is fit and firing I think we're in with a shout for best starting XI. We're only 1 injury away from having to play Elnenny or Coquelin regularly. That doesn't jive with having the best squad. All of our rivals are better off in that regard. Cech also is prone to some errors these days which leaves us behind the likes of Chelsea and United in terms of goalkeeping. We should make top 4 but anything beyond that would perhaps be punching above our weight if we fail to recruit in midfield at the very least.
Cause Neymar is already sold?
