Cann we make the top 4 or 5?

[Bullet]

Super early days of course, everyone has played 5 matches.
Narrative is that Spurs have thrown shedloads of points away with toothless displays.
Reality is we are 3 behind CHE and NEW and 5 behind AST

Currently MCN LIV ARS AST are all looking good, fair play to them.

CHE are such a basketcase you never know what is coming, from sublime to ridiculous, one minute I'm laughing at them, the next minute they are cutting teams apart.
NEW have a fearsome forward 3 of Gordon Isak Barnes with solid midfielders Guimaeres JoeLinton Tonali and yet I'm told they are not playing well and will start to sink??

Then we have BRI NOT FUL who are not really our rivals.... and we are level with MNU who blow hot and very, very cold.

We could, but then this thread happened.

 

[JerusalemMan]

If this trend continues, and Solanke settles, then yes.

 

[Grays_1890]

yep

 

[Robbo]

Of course. We'll win it all.

 

[Cundies undies]

I think the main players we have are good enough for 4-5th, but unless we move away from "Angeball" and commit to PL as the absolute priority with cup matches being a second string team then 6-8 is probably more likely, assuming we don't have the usual injury crises with star players getting bans all over the place.

No pressure then, it's all on you Dom!

 

[Raziel]

Answer is down to two things

- How are we playing
- What our rivals do

Truth is we are playing for two spots (4th/5th)

- Fair assumption is City, Scum, Pool will land in top 4
- Chelsea & United are both fudging basket cases/circuses, I won't even try to predict
- Don't see Villa/Saudi Sportswashing Machine doing 4th again this season, they will be there for the 5th/6th but don't see enough consistency or quality there

As @JerusalemMan pointed out, the data behind the games (if not results) says we are playing well

As with most, we need some luck, luck with injuries and hopefully one the other teams don't go on some crazy good run for too long in season.

 

[Baleforce]

I hope so.

But I’m not at all confident.

 

[Finney Is Back]

If this trend continues, and Solanke settles, then yes.

If that exact trend continues then we'll finish..... 10th!

 

[parklane1]

Of course we can, If we keep everyone fit i do not see why not.

 

[Muttley]

Of course we can, If we keep everyone fit i do not see why not.

Yep, key positions are GK, LB and having no more than one CB injury at a time.

 

[Jurgen the German]

It’s absolutely doable. Need some reinforcements in January I feel to improve our chances.

Apart from replacing the soon-to-be-gone Romero, what replacements at what position do you have in mind?
