Where will we finish this season?

[SB]

Top half of the table for sure.

[TheElephantMan]

I think Chelsea and City will be the teams to beat (still can't believe we finished above Chelsea last season). I think we are the best of the rest so 3rd is definitely achievable. We need a striker as back-up to Sturridge though.

First

Only one team finished above us last season and only by a whisker. Our squad is already better than last season so there's no reason at all why we won't go all the way. The teams that finished below us are no great shakes so I can't see any of them overhauling us.

[Fredo]

Yeah, I'll think we'll win it. By 10 points.

Hate to admit it but Arsenal have also improved... Ars, Chelsea, City top three - probably in that order

We've also got a tough start (and Utd's start is relatively easy).

Our squad is better but our first 11 isn't - by a long shot/bite

4th. We'll struggle a bit in the first half of the year with CL and integrating the new signings. Maintaining the CL places is the big thing for this year, though, and I think we'll manage it.

No team has a first eleven anymore. Fourteen players usually play for each team every game and we'll most definitely have a better fourteen than last season for each match.

The Suarez thing is overstated, great player though he was. I read today that with him in the team we had a win rate of 48% but without him we had a win rate of 65%.

We'll win, City and Chelsea will fight it out for second, while Arsenal will be fourth as ever. I expect Everton to finish above Man U again. If the Mancs buy about four more top players they might elbow their way past a moribund Spurs but that's the best they can hope for

[TheElephantMan]

This is the most interesting season for a long time. Five definite contenders for top four and then two other teams who are capable of competing for the top four. I just hope we can manage being in the CL and aiming for a top four spot with the squad we have.

If we replace Luis then we can fight for the title but if we don't then best hope is 4th. Thats how important it is that we sign a top striker this month

[Gazzla]

Without another good striker or forward coming in then it'll be a struggle to get top 4 with our champions league commitments

The Suarez thing is overstated, great player though he was. I read today that with him in the team we had a win rate of 48% but without him we had a win rate of 65%. Really? Wow!

We'll win, City and Chelsea will fight it out for second, while Arsenal will be fourth as ever. I expect Everton to finish above Man U again. If the Mancs buy about four more top players they might elbow their way past a moribund Spurs but that's the best they can hope for. Love your optimism

Third.

[BobTheCharmer]

If its not first I'll be disappointed. Can't wait forever.

Anywhere from 1st to 3rd. Expecting a decent race this year.
