Expectations for this season

Quadruple.

We can only do a triple this season

I can see us finishing 7th.

No left back, problem keeper, injury prone forwards.

We have been left behind in the transfer market during the summer.

Yeah cool.

I'm excited by the team offensively, but I still have concerns about our defence. The squads propensity to pick up injuries is also a big concern.

I expect us to miss out on the top 4 this season. I think the exceptionally hard start to the season will go a long way to deciding how we will do overall. If we start well then the top 4 will be on, considering we are out of Europe.

I'm excited by the signing of Mane, and it's great to see a new keeper coming in (but he's unluckily out injured). I'm not sure we brought in enough quality to challenge for the top 4 this season. Utd and City should be strong, Arsenal will be Arsenal which only leaves one spot up for grabs.

I think this season is incredibly hard to read because so much has changed. Utd will be a different animal this year, City may click under Pep or it might take a little while to get used to his way of working, Chelsea and Conte could be a perfect match. The only real consistency is Arsenal!

I'd expect us to finish between 4-6.

Unlike many on this thread, I'm not sure our chances are dependent on the defence - I'm much more interested (/concerned) with the central midfield area. The balance of Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum and maybe Grujic is fascinating. Get the blend right and I think we have a shot at 4th.

I expect 5/6th and a point/few points off top 4. Think it'll be close between the top 7 this season.

We're not going to know anything the first 10 games of the season with the fixtures we've got. Defence is still a concern, particularly LB & GK (with Karius injured).

Top 4??

Not really sure what to expect with the 3 new managers installed at the sharp end.

I'm not going into the season expecting too much though.

Far from being an exciting prospect, after the Leicester anomaly last season, I think we'll see the re-affirmation that the biggest wallet will win out.

And which splurge of excess will secure the title is only interesting up to a point.

I think its 6-8 again to be honest....
all of our rivals look strong ....
And add west ham and the saints to the mix....

i hate saying this...but united have excellent signings...and they may win it outright....

I agree with the comments RE challenging for the top 4 throughout the season, I expect us to drop very few points at home this season and that could mean top 4.
