Top 7 Predictions

Not open for further replies.
1. Man Utd- I think the younger players like of Nani, Evans, Fabio and Valencia will really grow in stature this year. I also feel like senior players such as Berbatov, Scholes, Park and Owen will enjoy greater consistency. I see them becoming less reliant on Rooney.

2. Chelsea- They've let go of a lot of experience in Belletti, Cole, Ballack, Deco and Carvalho. I can't see that they have young players ready to replace them. I think they'll find themselves stretched this year if they suffer injuries.

3. Arsenal- They seem to be another side reaching maturity. I still think they lack the steel and determination to win the league.

4. Man City- Their buying policy appears to be adhoc. It's hard to see how Boateng and Toure in particular will improve the side. They wouldn't appear to have the focus or cohesion to mount a title challenge.

5. Liverpool- They have appointed the right man for the job. I'm not sure if they've improved at all with their summer signings. Hodgson will get the most out of the players at his disposal though.

6. Tottenham- I feel that they'll hit a plateau, as Harry looks for the key to taking Spurs to the next level. They may become distracted from the league by European football.

7. Everton- We have the players to do well, but the rigid team shape and cautious tactics will mean that we'll too often settle for a draw rather than risking defeat.

I'm listening to you next year, mate.

Wow. So spot on it's scary.

And it also highlights the predictability of Moyes, eh?
 
I think he was the reason we were so low down early on though, mate. It certainly wasn't injuries.

Aye probably, but these things even themselves out. We deserved seventh which based on having far less money to spend than the teams above us is probably about right. It's not good enough for Everton but it's about right.

Here's to having some money to progress.

Yep.

I've been thinking most of this year that Moyes is never going to get us relegated, he's very good at taking a losing team and getting it winning again (which I think we don't appreciate enough as fans), but at the same time, he's never shown that he has that winning mentalitry which takes you from finishing 7th or 5th to finishing 3rd and winning the FA Cup.

It's way I've been screaming for Wilkins or Clarke all season. We need something extra. I think Moyes will get you top half, but he won't make you great.

I can't be arsed getting into it, like, but hear hear to the last bit.

We need to do something this summer, that's for sure.
