Where will we finish ?

[Tigger]

The bookies seem to think we’ll finish below Leeds

On paper teams better than you.

1. City
2. Liverpool
3. Chelsea
4. Man United
5. Arsenal
6. Spurs
7. Leicester

In reality Wolves, Southampton and probably Leeds will finish above you too. So 11th place finish for Everton this year.

Oh god we're doomed, Bryan the Swan has spoken.

Wolves will fall to pieces this season as will Leicester imo

Wolves managers last yr of his deal and no talk of renewing - losing Doherty and FFP stopping them reinvesting after 2x back to back 7th place finishes I think they will dip.

The signs were there at Leicester that their confidence has been hit - if Vardy has a dip I think Rodgers will struggle to have them up for it.

I think 7th providing we get in atleast a good enough RB.

I think for wolves, Leicester and us, it depends on injuries. All now have a similar first eleven. It’s the squad depth which will decide

 

[billyblue80]

I am sticking with top ten and build from there. If we over perform we could be in the EL mix of 7/8th

 

[H.H.]

Defence is top 10
Midfield will be top 6
Attack top 6

so being optimistic overall top 6

How can the defence possibly be a 10 when Pickford is part of it?

Oh and if the bookies have Leeds as favourites to be higher than Everton, I'm 100% gonna have a big bet on Everton to finish higher. Easy money.

That defence had a League One midfield in front of it for the entirety of last season. The whole team could be lifted with the midfield reinforcements.

That's a very fair point but a dodgy keeper is a dodgy keeper.

 

[PeregrineT]

I think at this point its just a matter of whether City pips the league over us or not. Probably on the last day, Everton that.

 

[Goat]

3rd still.

 

[Coggy]

There isn't a chance of Leeds finishing above us.
Which bookie is offering that bet ?. If I still had a mortgage to pay off (thankfully I am of a certain age ) , the mortgage money would be on that one.

 

[Pat Butcher]

7th comfortably, best of the rest, Europa League

He said top ten, and who's to say for certain he'll be our number one this season, still weeks to go in this window.

Your own keeper isn't exactly of impeccable standard either.

He said "Top 6."

I agree, just like our old manager, Lloris is on he's way down but even you would have to admit that it's very over optimistic to be giving the Everton defence a 10/10 with Pickford being part of it.
Tell you what, lets forget about the dodgy keeper and if you really think about it, how can Everton's back four be a 10/10 defence

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Replacing the entire engine room is always a risk.
The team could gel and be a real threat to the top places, or could meander around mid table again.

We have not had a fully functioning 'team' since the early part of Martinez's first season. I hope Ancelotti can fix that asap.
