How many points we would take if Bruno was signed last summer?

[Stojan Stamenic]

And, let's say it hypothetically - we had Greenwood in this summer form for whole season. How many?

We would probably win against Palace home in august last year (lost 2:1) and maybe Southampton away couple of days later (drew 1:1 against 10 men), get a point od three against West Ham in september (lost 2:0), Newcastle in October (lost 1:0), Bournemouth in November (lost 1:0), Watford in December (lost 2:0)... Draws against Aston Villa (2:2) and Everton (1:1) in December - one would maybe be a victory.

Our current squad is probably in 77-82 points range maybe?

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

How long, string, and all that.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Do the same injuries still happen?

If so, probably 10 more.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

How many trophies would we have won had we not appointed Moyes?

 

[Chairman Steve]

The easy assumption to make is we’d be much closer to City points wise than fighting it out with Chelsea and Leicester for 3rd and 4th on the final day.

Wed still have finished 3rd but a more comfortable 3rd.

 

[Bojan11]

Nobody knows. It wasn’t just Bruno. Martial being injured after selling Lukaku was a massive loss. We didn’t have Ighalo back then. Pogba barely played.

Hence why it’s important we get some good signings.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

How many trophies would Moyes had won with Everton if we’d never appointed Moyes?

 

[Revan]

Interpolating (as I mentioned in the other thread), we end up with 86. Personally, I think that is very unrealistic, the form IMO was not maintainable for a long time, we were playing better than we really are.

Saying that, I think that we might have ended with 75 or so points, which gives a comfortable top 4 position any year. Next year, we should definitely target 80 points, which would be a good season, and if we can manage to get 85, it would be really great and would show significant measurable success. To be fair, I would accept right now finishing on 80-85 points next season.

 

[el3mel]

We'll know next season.

 

[TheGame]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Pointless thread.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

we'd have come 3rd !!!

 

[Blood Mage]

We could have mounted a serious challenge to City for second, but nobody was getting close to the dippers this season.

We beat them at Old trafford... perhaps the spell is broken and the season changes.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

How many trophies would Moyes had won with Everton if we’d never appointed Moyes?

He would have finished 8th or thereabouts as he always seemed to do. It was obviously such an amazing CV that impressed the Glazers

 

[Bilbo]

'What ifs' are never healthy. The progression of this team is what it is. Im very happy with the curve

Fergie was the one who chose him.

 

[norm87cro]

Around 75

 

[thegregster]

34 Pts from 24 games before Bruno.

32 Pts from 14 games since he signed.

I reckon another 15 points at least.

Agree. Won't be able to catch up with Liverpool to be honest, but still mathematically possible by Jan (like Leicester City?) and will not do a free fall like Leicester.
