Well it's a refreshing change! I don't think we're as bad as some of the mega gloomers think but not really champions material. No reason we can't have a crack at the top 4 though. Getting into the Top 4 would represent a hugely successful season in my opinion. I wouldn’t call it hugely successful Chris, I’d call it an improvement on last season and that’s all anyone can call such an outcome. We’ve set our sights very low if we call 4th place for Liverpool hugely successful in any season. If you look at our recent history and the strength of the league now then I believe a 4th placed finish would be a very good season, if we could win a cup as well I'd be delighted! How many times have we finished above 4th since the Premiership began? We don't have a divine right to finish higher because we're Liverpool! I’d agree it would be good in comparison to last season, which ant LFC fan must regard as a disaster. Id never call a 4th place a hugely successful season for Liverpool. For me 4th position is the least we should accept along with decent run’s in the CL, and we should be aspiring to do better every season, along with the occasional title thrown in. That’s my vision for Liverpool, and I’ll never be happy with anything less. As for the cups, I’d never see Liverpool as a cup side per se, it has to be constantly challenging for the league title and very, very seldom dropping out of the top 4, the cups are nice, but the league is essential.

I don't disagree with you but how many times have we realistically challenged for the title in the last 25 years?

My predictions are;
Man U: It is that it is wonderful that Mourinho has taken control of Man U.
He is toxic and his ego has already inflated ego will explode out of control and he will self destruct again by November exactly as he did at Chelsea.
Man U will finish 6th.
Chelsea: will be rebuilding and adapting in style and will finish 7th.
Leicester will do well again but the Fizz will fade and will finish 4th.
Arsenal. same pretty but cowardly football. finish 3rd.
Spurs, fifth.
Liverpool will win it.
Man City. adjusting and rebuilding. finish second.
West Ham fifth.

Anyone else thinking Middlesbrough could do quite well? Not win it of course, or even finish 4th, but they've made good signings and I fancy them for a potential top half finish

Sound reasoning. The so called experts think the teams that finished 4th, 5th and 10th are going to run away with it and I just can't see it. I don't think Man City have the sort of technical players Guardiola is used to and I don't see that their defensive problems have been resolved. That said I agree with you that they will probably finish around 2nd, maybe 3rd. The Utd squad doesn't impress me at all, Arsenal never seem to improve and are there to be overtaken. I think Chelsea will do well though.

My predictions are:
United will struggle as the ghost of Ferguson still lingers. It will take another season before they make a cultural change.
I predict they finish 5th at best and Jose will implode again.
Citeh will also struggle through a cultural change and will finish third.
Chelsea to win it. They have the squad, the money and the right manager.
Liverpool to finish second if Klopp can get the side out of the average mind set.
Arsenal third. Bridesmaids as long as Wenger is there.
