Arsenal have proven time & again that the young lads just don't have the legs - bet they get off to a flyer though this season, always seem to when no one expects anything of them.
What the hell is EDL???
Spurs is too hard to call, it's when and how they recover from their bad spell that will determine their finish - a Rocky start and the knives will be out for AVB, could go either way.
I think Newcastle will be like a new player to the league that impressed in his first season, everyone knows their game now and will approach them differently - second season syndrome, sink or swim.
Chelsea, UTD & City will always be there or there abouts, Everton will be floating anywhere between 6th & 10th, and that just leaves us...
New manager, new philosophy... I think we'll improve on last season to be honest. Kenny did well changing the way we played under the previous managers, so I don't think the style of football we will play will be tooooooooooo different to Kenny's - a bit more possession and fluidity. Rodgers seems the perfect choice at the perfect time: fine tune, tweak and polish what is already in place - and most importantly, he'll be looking at the squad, at each and every player, with fresh eyes.
There'll be the odd strange decision, no manager is immune to that, but he may well see in players what Kenny didn't...
To sum it up, I think we'll finish anywhere between 3rd and 6th - too hard to call at this stage.
(and take no notice of the pre season friendlies when they rear their ugly heads - it's all about getting the fitness up & getting through the pre season un-injured)
Can't wait for the season to kick off, proper scratching at the walls!!!
