I just saw that, it's crazy. With one game in hand, we seem to be doing OK offensively and we are yet to see Martial and Greenwood hit the ground running as you said.If we beat Leicester next week it starts to look very interesting.
Don't think our defence is good enough to give us more than an outside chance, but no reason why we shouldn't try and go for it. It's as good a chance as anyone other than Liverpool will have at this point.
I also think our defence can improve a bit without needing a major signing as a lot of the problems seem to be a confidence issue rather than ability. If they can get a few clean sheets they might be able to build a bit of assertiveness from that.
Going forwards we just open teams up with ease even when half our forwards don't turn up. Martial and Greenwood haven't fired all season and Cavani has barely been fit, and yet we're second top scorers and look like scoring in any game we can get the ball forwards.
Defense is an issue, but I think we're doing worse than expected Basing on performances and quality of chances conceded, so I'd just give it time for now.
