You mean the same team (plus an up and running Lucas) that came third last year? No reason to think we can’t get top 4 without further additions.If we stick with the same team without any additions until next summer, we will be 8th by December and finish 6th in May.
That's my final prediction.
For me it is. I would be ecstatic . Fuck the cl.If we win a cup but don't get a CL spot, is that ok or not ?
433 is the way to go. Its an incredibly fluid system. Would love to see us plays a lilbit like City with 2 creative players as part of 3 Midfield. Of course they need to intensify their workrate. So the problem remains whether we got the squad thick enough to rotate.With another season of Pochs systems plus some of the adjustments he's clearly been making, and the development of some of the newer or less established players, I'm thinking we're going to be in that 3rd to 4th bracket.
Forget all the transfer stuff, i think the pivotal aspect of this season, in terms of the team (new stadium asides), is the evolution from the Dembele based style of play to whatever the alternative is.
He was my favourite player, a true world class performer and terribly underrated during his prime, but he is no longer that player IMO and we have to adjust accordingly. I have no idea how we do that as there's no one who plays his way, so we can't just slot in Vic or Winks and not change the system.
That's gonna be the big issue. Because if our manager can figure that out then we could be in for a monster season with the talent we have.
It could be incredible. What lots of commentators miss with this transfer shit, is the massive benefit of coaching existing players and getting their understanding of the systems and teammates nailed.433 is the way to go.

If (a big big if) everybody played to their potential, we are going to be strong.
Eriksen and Dier are the mainstay at the 3. With (i hope) Dier to be covering much more ground and attempting much more tackles. Not sure whos the other one though.
The more i thought about it the excited i got.
Really? Personally I love big European nights playing against the big boys. It’s magic. That game against Madrid last season was one of the most exciting evenings I’ve had as a fan.For me it is. I would be ecstatic . Fuck the cl.
