After finishing 8th last season and seeing the Top 4 strengthen again, I really see our direct competition this season realistically as Tottenham, West Ham, Leceister, Everton, possibly Villa, it will be a race to be in the Top 6, and secure Europa League.
Forgive me but I’ve ruled out Top 4 already, it’s just unrealistic when you look at those squads, we are built on supposed potential now we aren’t on that level.
How do you all think we will fare against these teams? I’m more worried about West Ham and Leceister as they have very settled squads built with experienced league players, established partnerships in midfield etc.
Xhaka and Partey on paper would be the best CM partnership amongst these teams but we can’t get them on the pitch at the same time! We seem to have signed good players but they will have to hit the ground running to get us up to speed,
