There is no way well reach the heights of last year. We picked up alot of points from cracking individual performaces of Ba, Cisse, Cabaye and HBA in respective games. But Im still yet to see us put in a full team performance, apart from West Brom away. The biggest floor in our game was the retaining of possession, we really struggled due to the non footballing ability of the right side of our defence. We havent strengthened like we should have and I can see us having a similar season ability wise. Only Chelsea and Spurs have strengthened. Arsenal have dropped off a little. But the like of Liverpool and Everton are certainly at our level now. With Swansea, Fulham,(possibly QPR and Sunderland) nipping at our heels. Can see us finishing around 7th or 8th. But maybe this downward spiral in expectation of the squad is a good thing and make the season all the more enjoyable. Heres hoping!
