Where would you honestly rank our team?

[OverratedOpinion]

I don't mean this to be moaning thread, I am just honestly curious after watching the first half against West Ham where you would rate our squad in the league if you broke it down player for player.

I think it is obvious that we are behind City, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal.

Other than that, do we have better players than Chelsea now Hazard has left? Do Wolves have better players than us?

I think we are probably 6th best in the league but want to know opinions.

 

[Scotty McT]

We consistently finish around 4th-7th. There's your answer.

 

[Maestro14]

Yeah, good luck with that.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

We consistently finish around 4th-7th. There's your answer.

We have also had a number of different managers and a huge amount of transfers in the last few years. I personally see a regression from the last few years where we finished 6th/5th.

Where would you rank our manager?

 

[red4ever 79]

6th to 8th

 

[OverratedOpinion]

Where would you rank our manager?

Sadly quite low down at the moment but a large number of these players have under performed under multiple managers.

 

[Castia]

If this game today was against City we’d be 5 down at HT.

No hyperbole, no over the top bullshit we’d be 5-0 down and that’s where this squad is.

First 11 ranking I think we’re top 6 but the squad on the whole is top 10. The line up today shows just how far off we are.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

More negative shit.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

More negative shit.

If the situation is bad then by proxy of talking about it you will come across as negative. The people on here who constantly bemoan everyone else as negative are worse than the people who want to actually talk about the situation due to this being a football forum.

 

[meninred]

5th i would say..arsenal are not good side and Chelsea just might be slightly be better..the other teams are all inconsistent.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Bottom 6.

 

[spiriticon]

Injured/10

Fecking ridiculous fitness record

 

[Skills]

Bottom 6.

Of the championship? I can't see many of the PL bottom 6 taking him

 

[paulscholes18]

Mid table with the 11 on the pitch, with Shaw, Pogba, Martial & Rashford should be good enough for top 4

 

[Leftback99]

6th but injuries to Martial and/or Pogba takes it bottom half.

 

[sullydnl]

Rank is the word.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Mid table with the 11 on the pitch, with Shaw, Pogba, Martial & Rashford should be good enough for top 4

I mean, yeah, I don't really see how anyone could argue differently. We went into the season with a paper thin squad that, if we were incredibly fortunate with injuries may have been good enough for the top four. We haven't been fortunate, and now people are acting surprised that a squad that looks mid-table on paper is struggling away against another mid-table team.

 

[hobbers]

9th.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

9th / 10th

 

[DRM]

9th

 

[Adisa]

7th. Leicester have a better team. Forget last week, they do.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Midtable fodder.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

We are closer in quality to Swansea and Leeds then City and Liverpool.

8th-12th

 

[cyril C]

better than Everton, worse than Wolves. 6-7th finish unless we have a radical change on management

 

[Green_Red]

On current form, we'll do well to stay in the top 10.

 

[Mark_Barca]

Think United will finish 5th. May sneak 4th EL depending.

 

[the hea]

The fact that half the West Ham starting eleven would walk into ours says it all.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Mid table, certainly with these injuries

 

[Fosu-Mens]

Sadly quite low down at the moment but a large number of these players have under performed under multiple managers.

Manager and coaching team. Can have a clueless manager and still perform if the rest of the coaching team is good. That said, i think OGS is the worst coach/manager in the league.

 

[2plus2is4]

I think this is the first time ever that no player of our starting XI would get into a pool or city starting XI...maybe with the only exception of DDG, but you could also argue that

 

[PoTMS]

West Ham genuinely have a better starting XI than us.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Manager and coaching team. Can have a clueless manager and still perform if the rest of the coaching team is good. That said, i think OGS is the worst coach/manager in the league.

Comfortably.

 

[Slevs]

I'd say in terms of quality and general performance we're below Leicester and Wolves.

 

[joker00]

This is not a topic to reply on in this matchday to be more objective, watching spurs, arsenal and chelsea playing I couldn't say they're much ahead of us.
Could finish 4th.
Believe

 

[pjaya]

11-15th

 

[Marcus]

Bottom half of the league.

 

[manunited1919]

Table doesn’t lie

 

[Roboc7]

6th but injuries to Martial and/or Pogba takes it bottom half.

Without those 2 we’re no better than any of mid table teams.

 

[Snow]

I'm not being reactive when I rank us 6th. That was my prediction before the season. I also said it wouldn't be a huge surprise if we would finish 8th because of Leicester, West Ham, Wolves but Wolves haven't been very good so far.
