The Burning Question: Where will we finish?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I've had a bevvie.

 

We're gonna win the fuckin lot.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I fucking hate this aiming for fourth place shit. If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing, remember.

 

And I fucking hate this "if you think we're going to finish fifth, then it means you are satisfied with that" shit.

 

How is it so hard for people to tell the difference between "Where do you think we will finish?" and "Where do you hope we will finish?"

6th. To get 4th we'd need all of the new players to instantly gel which won't happen. We're gonna start the Stoke game with potentially 5 new players who haven't played together before in a competitive game. That's a shit load of change.

 

It'll take us a dozen games to get up to speed and for Rodge to find his best team/formation. By then we will have dropped a shit load of points.

We are always in transition aren't we

We are always in transition aren't we

Unfortunately yep. Shit managers, shit signings and our best players leaving has culminated in shit transition.

[Arl arse]

20th, poor squad + awful oxygen thief manager = goodnight top flight!

 

If we sack Rigsby by Christmas, Klopp might get us mid-table!

Well played mate, well played indeed.

 

*can I get next weeks winning lottery numbers off you now?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Seventh or eighth.

Shout!

[G Richards]

Next season? Champions.

 

Watch as a balanced and hungry team emerges this summer. Klopp will have them playing for him and for the shirt. With no European football they will be better prepared for each league game. It won't quite be 38 cup finals, as it's impossible to have that big match feel for every league game, but that's what Klopp will be demanding. The fans can make a real difference too - OK, the final against Sevilla didn't work out, but what about knocking Man Utd out and Dortmund too? The fans really helped those nights happen.

 

I can't wait to see it all unfold, but I think we've got a chance.

 

Champions.

[Frankenhooker]

5th but we'll win a pot.

[jimmycase]

I was very positive when we appointed Klopp. I think he's not only a great manager but the best we'd get by a country mile in the supposed new football world order.

 

Id hoped the club would push the boat out regarding quality transfers. Nothing stupid or over the top but clearly that's not going to happen. No doubt the lack of european football will not help and I admire Klopp's stance of not being interested in players who put european football ahead of signing for the club.

 

But, its a sad reflection on football today that many so called top players think that way.

 

I want to say I think we'll finish in the top 4 but based on current signings, think 5th is going to be more likely. Even then, we'll need to be very focused.

[Grinch]

Utd, chelsea and Arsenal will be fighting for the title next season. Our only hope of a top four spot will be Pep stuggling in England.

I think conte could take a season or two to get used to the PL as well.

A man of the cloth hitting the crackpipe this early in the day? For shame, G.

 

Fair play for your positivity, mate.

Hopefully but I do think Chelsea have a really good squad that simply downed tools last season. Theyre also bound to sign a few very good players, not kids from Bulgaria that might be good but top class proven internationals.

[DirkDiggledinho]

We should be aiming to win it this season. Leicester showed there's never any excuse for a lack of ambition. All depends on who we buy though. Realistically I'd guess 3rd once we've turfed a few of the bums out and hopefully have some proper players coming in.

[Herp McDerp]

7th. We're shit.

 

City

Utd

Chelsea

Arse

Tottenham

West Ham

Southampton

[Herp McDerp]

Haha, it was meant to be West Ham/Southampton in sixth.

Im sure we will be aiming to win it. Would love it if we could pull it off. But you just know some people will attempt to denigrate it if we did because we werent in Europe.

 

Last time I checked, you had to be top after 38 league games and european results dont count.

Yeah I wouldnt disagree with that. Im just hoping conte does find it difficult and we can take advantage.

We're probably one of if not the most hated teams in the league. Of course people would attempt to denigrate it.

 

All the more reason to go out and win it. We shouldn't be playing for fourth as in previous years.

Looks hard to predict again next season. Us not being in Europe will help,three big clubs with new managers, what will happen with Spurs, Leicester and West Ham, will Arsenal ever stop finishing 2-4th

[aladdinsane]

Sadly I think We'll finish 5th or 6th which seems to be our standard positions in recent years bar 13/14. But really we should be seriously challenging to break into the top 4 especially with no Europe.

Love to be wrong but can't see this at all. Going to take at least next summer before Klopp has built a proper team/squad.

 

We'll have too many wasters left in the squad going into next season.
