      I think we'll finish top 4 in the league, but don't see us winning it.

      Quarter finals of the champs league.

      At least one cup final win I reckon.

      Expectations are always a dangerous thing to set too high... However - I honestly believe we will have a season to rival last seasons performance wise - however our league position will be down to many other factors out of our control - such as the other teams performances.

      Top 4 is now the minimum, as I guess it has been for a while - but for me I think we will be right up there come April. Not sure if we will win the league, but wont be more than 4 point from this come May.

      To be honest the top 4 this year is not easier as it seems  , people excluding Man utd from the equation , they will sign more players for sure plus they have a clever manager who knows what he's doing .
      It's going to be like this :

      Man city & Chelsea for the PL
      Arsenal & Liverpool & Man utd for the 3 and 4th place  .
      Plus spurs and Everton to be dark horses again .

      What we need to do ?
      The key for the top 4 is not to waste point against small teams we need to win our games against them , the games we should be worrying about apart from top 4 games are :
      Stoke(away)
      Palace(away)
      Swansea(away)
      Everton (away)
      Spurs(away)
      Newcastle(away)

      These teams always were likely the top4 teams drop points at .
      We need to win these game , if we win these games we will be in a comfortable place .

      My prediction is 4th place and I pray to god that we end up in the top 4 , it's so important to us otherwise we will be back to square zero again and maybe our manager will be in trouble if we fail .

      Really dont know what to expect, seems like one of them seasons where it could literally go anywhere. By no means a target or anything but getting top 4 again would be nice and to win a cup, really don't know where we stand

      May!!! what's wrong with having it wrapped up by the end of April allowing us to prepare for the CL final.

      I think the inexperience of both the manager and the team towards the end of last season will be seen as a learning curve for both this season.I feel anywhere outside the top two would be a step backwards,and expect to see us in the CL quarter finals minimum,with at least one domestic trophy.

      If we don't do something special,transfer wise,in the next month,we'll be 5th or 6th again. No doubts in my mind

      With how things currently stand, including the squads of our rivals, I would expect us to still land within the top four. If United end up signing Vidal, Di Maria and whoever else, then the ball would be in our court - we would need to ensure that we remain stronger than them throughout. Currently, we are the stronger team.

      Our best current XI imo:

      Mignolet
      Enrique
      Sakho
      Lovren
      Flanagan
      Gerrard
      Henderson
      Coutinho
      Lallana
      Sterling
      Sturridge

      I feel that given Adam's age and experience of the league, it's only fair to assume that he will probably be more ready for the PL campaign than Markovic. Same applies to Emre Can. I've put a dash through the area's of which I feel could do with improving however.

      I feel that Lallana could compete and rotate with Coutinho in the CAM role. Of course Sterling can play there in a 4-4-2 diamond, but I very much doubt we'll revert back to that formation now Suarez has gone. The two fullback positions are, in my opinion, a real cause for concern. Jon Flanagan is our best fullback, and he is still pretty much a flawed defender. He'll come good, but there is no doubt we can improve on him. I genuinely feel three players is all we need now - Moreno, Rojo or Rodriguez for LB, someone else (don't know who) for RB, and a quality player like Reus for that forward position.

      There is no doubt that our 13/14 XI is stronger than this season's XI:

      Mignolet
      Flanagan
      Sakho
      Skrtel
      Johnson
      Gerrard
      Henderson
      Coutinho
      Sterling
      Suarez
      Sturridge

      Tough question. Spending and bringing in new players is 50/50. It can be exactly what you need and if it works were going to win the league.  The other side is what happened to Spurs.  Personally, I think this season will certainly see us as a top 4. I think it will take them a few weeks of working together to play as one squad. Im sure we'll see mistakes, maybe a few OG's sloppy play etc.. its going to happen with so many new players.

      Chelsea are going to be strong. City as usual will be tough, Arsenal are always in it, the biggest question is United. .. Last year was glorious.  But Van Gaal is a good mgr and he will have them playing better.

      Well we've beaten Swansea. Just need to progress and prioritise on that and remain away from the relegation zone.
