Teams we'll finish above next season

[Footy-Vill]

At this moment in time and I’m serious Bournemouth are the only team I can see us finishing above. 

We have a tactically inept manager.  We are starting each game with ten men as the captain is a nailed on starter.  The system we play the wing backs are not good enough to make it work.  The midfield is weak.  And we are not exactly prolific scorers. 

I’ve thought of another team - Everton but as we know they never end up going down.

As it stands, it looks like it's going to be a long and tough season.  Hope we do some amazing business in the rest of the transfer window.

So West Ham lost again today 3 defeats in a row.
Leicester have only 1pt from their 3 matches and squanded a 2-0 lead last week

Man Utd have started poorly but could overtake Liverpool if they beat them
Chelsea were poor today in losing to Leeds who are now 2nd in the table. We comfortably beat Leeds in pre season

Wolves haven't won this season and in 10 games stretching back to last season.

Aren't some of these early season results and form with other teams suggesting that it's a case anything can happen at the moment.
The results over the weekend shows anything is possible really to where we could finish

Yes you're right Footy. The bottom three in Leicester, West Ham and Man U are three teams who have been fighting for the top 4 in recent seasons. Chelsea were every bit as bad today as we were against Palace, they were abysmal.

[Footy-Vill]

Certainly have to live in hope right now.
All the league table currently is just based on form of 3 matches played.

[ChicagoLion]

Not many.

[Axl Rose]

Not many.

On current form, you're spot on, mate

Man Utd are the only team I've seen this season to look worse than us.

Leicester and West Ham haven't been great, admittedly, but look far less of an utter mess than we do.

Teams we’ll finish above next season?
The Rags, Albion, Hull, Boro, Sheff U……..Maybe Norwich if they don’t get promoted this season.

West Ham who have lost three on the spin and haven't scored a goal yet?

You must have missed the Everton game, mate.

Everton,  Bournemouth, Southampton maybe....  15th-16th looks about right atm

I was looking at Southampton 11 at 2.50pm on Saturday and thought to myself that looks the worst line up in the league....and they go and beat Leicester away from a goal down!

We certainly aren't capable of that type of result currently, pretty much all of our wins under Gerrard have been getting the first goal I think.

[edgysatsuma89]

If we don't finish above Everton then I reckon we should request to go straight to League 1.

[ozzjim]

That Onana looks a player though.  Get Calvert Lewin fit and they will scrape a few wins.

Before the season started expectations were generally too high. I remember one comment that said something like anything less than top 6 would be failure.

I think they’re at risk of being too low now. The bookies have us around 11th. We’ve had a poor start but beat Everton and created quite a decent amount against Palace.

I’d love for us to have signed another central midfielder, maybe striker, and for Carlos not to have got injured, but we’re not in a terrible place in my opinion.

[Jon Crofts]

Hopefully we finish above at least 3 other teams.
