Can we win the league?

[Sir Scott McToMinay]

- What if a great pre-season, focusing on fitness levels as well as some sort of development of a style of play will make that huge of a difference?

- What if Rashford and Martial go no the next level of their ability and kick on from there?

- Spurs should really be feeling defeated by now, they just can’t win anything, it’s all too much to take for them, surely.
Their best players probably cannot wait to get the feck out of there, their manager too.

- Liverpool and City are great and all, but who knows what will happen to their consistency? Maybe City will focus on Europe and Liverpool will simply struggle and be found out tactically by plenty.

That’s the bare minimum that should be expected at this club, with so much financial power.

This has got to be 2006/2007 all over again, six years is way too long.
Remember Camp Nou, 1 9 9 9

 

[charlenefan]

Not a chance no

 

[Bastian]

No, there are at least two teams that are miles ahead of us. Top 3 would be an achievement.

 

[Paxi]

Not a chance.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

No chance.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Theoretically even the likes of Palace can. See Leicester. Realistically though? Not a chance in hell.

 

[esmufc07]

Yes.

 

[Varun]

No

 

[SaintMuppet]

Yes it’s possible.

5 or 6 other teams might suddenly go out of existence. They might all be docked points. The entirety of their first teams may be afflicted with Achilles injuries at a preseason party etc etc

But removing ones head from the realm of fantasy it’s not going to happen. Get used to it now to avoid unnecessary disappointment.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Yes we can, but it would be as bigger shock as Leicester winning it.

 

[Florida Man]

I BELIEVE

 

[GJNJ]

There is a chance but very unlikely. Not quite a Leicester City unlikely but both Liverpool and City will be too strong and have completed squads where we will still be building our squad. Spurs will could go either way way an push the other 2 or fall back into the pack.

I just expect to an improvement in attacking pressing style simular to when Ole first took over. The players will be fitter and can last more that 70 minutes for 6 games, I'm optimistic that will happen. I think we'll also see an improvement in Fred and some of the younger players with another year's experience (especially Rashford). I also expect one of the acadamy players to have a breakthrough season, my guess would be Greenwood.

 

[Class of 63]

100% yeah, if we get on a roll we'll surprise a few people.

 

[sunama]

No, there are at least two teams that are miles ahead of us. Top 3 would be an achievement.

I think 4th place would be a huge achievement for Ole.
If a top class manager was in charge, then I'd say that 3rd place could be got. Jose got 2nd.
But this squad is so wretchedly bad, I think top 6 should be the realistic aim - but I hope I am proved wrong.

Yeah, I agree. Let me qualify:
Within 10 points of the leader would be astounding, given everything.
Top 3 would be a fantastic first full season for Ole.
Top 4 would be a very good season.

Minimum aim is greatly increased consistency and clear application of a playing style and mentality.

 

[Krisbijoy]

No . Winning in patches will not help anymore when there are teams who can hit 90+ points consistently.

 

[Wumminator]

Yes, I believe we can and I believe we're a lot closer than most people here think.

 

[Ekeke]

We'd need some big signings before the window is over

 

[passing-wind]

We won't win the league under Solskjaer period, unless he somehow becomes the best manager in world football (considering the three best are occupying rivals) and we suddenly end up with a team that transitions from wasteman divas to hungry winners.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Can, but likely not.

 

[anant]

Can we win? Yes
Will we win? Hell Yeah

 

[Infra-red]

We will be 25+ points away from it.

 

[red4ever 79]

Not in a hell's chance. Although I do think we have a chance at top 4 being as Chelsea will not be any stronger and Arsenal just have no money to invest basically. The other 3 are still ahead of us, and it's not because of our signings, its because we have failed to realize that the likes of Jones, Smalling, Matic, Lingard, Mata are simply not good enough. We go again though hey.

 

[Irrational.]

No

 

[adexkola]

Yes, I believe we can and I believe we're a lot closer than most people here think.

Why?

 

[AltiUn]

Nope.

 

[red4ever 79]

Why?

The clue is in the tagline

 

[dove]

The only league we can win is Europa League.

 

[adexkola]

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt but that may have been unwise

 

[Swiss_Red89]

If Daniel James is on a mission after his shirt number choice as RVP was, then Yes!

 

[Jazz]

Yes we can.

 

[red4ever 79]

some of the replies reminds me of the old Bob the Builder

 

[RedCurry]

More than 5 first team players would need to step up a level. So let’s say if Martial and Rashford suddenly find 20 goals each, Pogba chips in with another 15, DDG goes back to be world class, Lindelof becomes a complete leader at the back and AWB starts marauding the wing then of course. That’s unlikely to say the least.

 

[Canagel]

No. Sanchez, Mata, Matic, Jones,Smalling, Young,Rojo , Lingard are still at the club.

 

[Kostov]

NO

 

[Wumminator]

Why?

I believe that on form De Gea, AWB, Shaw, Pogba, Martial and Rashford can be some of the best players in the league. I reckon Lukaku, Sanchez and Fred have another level they could easily add to their game. I reckon that Liverpool will massively struggle this year as they won't improve their squad and I reckon City will lose a lot from a depleted David Silva and a departed Vincent Kompany.

Lots of reckoning. I reckon we will finish 6th.
