beswetherick Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It’s always fun to look back at the end of the season and see how bad our predictions were. Here goes…. Top 4: Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal Relegated: Southampton, Fulham, Bournemouth Outlandish prediction: Crystal Palace to finish top 10 Top scorer: Kane Best new signing: Gabriel Jesus Worst new signing: whoever Man U pay over the odds for on the last day of the transfer window First manager to be sacked: Frank Lampard’s Everton’s Frank Lampard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 You don’t think Chelsea will make the top 4 ? I think they might be due an implosion season tbh… and they need a striker… depends on who else they sign I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might be due an implosion season tbh… and they need a striker… depends on who else they sign I guess It is quite a bold prediction considering Chelsea’s usual consistency and how flaky Spurs and Arsenal are, but I think they both look like their squads are more settled at this moment in time, whereas Chelsea still have quite a bit of work to do. Arsenal have done some really good business signing Jesus and Zinchenko in particular, and the centre half Saliba coming back from Marseille looks like a player, although their squad lacks a bit of depth. I think it’ll be between them and Chelsea for 4th. Spurs have a proper top class manager and I think he’ll be the difference, but they’ll all be some way off the well-oiled City and Liverpool machines again. Quite a few of Chelsea’s key players are over 30 and I think the World Cup will have an impact on them — the older heads like Silva, Azpilicueta, Kante and even Koulibaly (who I think will be a good player for them) will be thinking this could be their last World Cup and won’t want to miss it through injury, plus the strain of additional games, travelling, etc. As you say though, much could change depending on who they sign in the next few weeks. Just looks at this stage that they’ve still got a fair bit of work to do in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm tipping Liverpool to win the title this season. Just got a funny feeling about them. Hope I'm wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm really looking forward to seeing how Haaland gets on, despite his age the expectations are going to be so high. I don’t see him sticking around long if things don't work out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickly Kevin Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 1 City 2 Liverpool 3 Spurs ( bear with me)* 4 Arsenal 5 Chelsea 6 West Ham 7 Man United * Spurs to take advantage of a weird season and go on a great run in 2nd half of season to lead for a few weeks then implode.

Gradual decline over the last couple of seasons. Neves gives them just about enough. Can’t believe he’s still their.
