That's exactly why it should be a miracle, because even with these teams we have to take it into account. Of course I would like us to finish in the top 6, and I'm rooting for it, but: Liverpool will strengthen significantly, Chelsea too, Mcity is still strong, just like Arsenal, Emery will ask for players, there's also MU. We should strengthen in every position, and here is the problem that should be solved, but the rivals have the advantage.

That's right, and if we find a good striker, a creative midfielder, and the defense works well, we might even have a CL place. Ramsey's game has improved a lot, Miley is very talented, but there are some question marks. For example, Elanga and Wissa. I expect much more from them.

If we take into account the value of the team's squad and the number of players, realistically there are about 5 teams ahead of us. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, MU, and Mcity. Tottenham and Aston Villa are questionable, I expect Villa and Emery to strengthen, and Tottenham could even cause a surprise. So if we get 6-7 places, that would be a good result.

I agree, the reality is around 7th-8th place, with the current squad at best. By some miracle, if we manage to sign a few excellent players, we could be in the top 6, but we need reinforcements in almost every position.

I think he knows that there will be plenty of money now, and knowing Emery's abilities, even if there are people leaving, he will still be able to make them stronger.

I think Aston Villa can stay in the top 6, now Emery can significantly strengthen the team as he pleases

Since our opponents will be significantly stronger, I don't think we can reach the top 6, maybe 7-10 places.

The problem is that now we will have a much harder time, and this is a spiral that is difficult to break out of. Now there was an opportunity, there was a lot of money to strengthen the squad, but we did not become any stronger. I hope I am wrong, but this squad is not enough to get into the top 6, some miracle should happen with player purchases. We cannot compete with weekly salaries, let's not force it, we should buy talents with less money, that's why we pay a lot of people to do their job. It was a very big mistake, for example, that we did not buy Rayan, even though he was not expensive, and his salary requirements are not high. And Wissa gets 140k per week, who previously received 25k at Brentford? This was not a normal deal, whoever is responsible for it is an idiot.

Unfortunately, we missed a big opportunity, because the European Cup will not be easier to get than this. We should have taken advantage of Tottenham and Chelsea's stumbles. I can't process this. We made a lot of mistakes, starting with irresponsible spending. We had a big opportunity to step up. I hope they learned from this, but it will be very difficult, Aston Villa will definitely strengthen, and so will the others. Our transfer system also needs to be improved, I don't understand why we missed out on signing Rayan, we need such talents.

Do you think he has done a good job this season? Predictable substitutions, always waiting for the 70th minute, the same tactics against every team, and then the statements where he manages to explain everything. I'm not saying he should go, well if Emery comes then he can go.

What's wrong with that?

What bothers me the most is when I see the confusion on his face during a match, our system has become predictable, there are no tactical innovations, the same elements, substitutions, surprising team composition, few opportunities for young players. So it's a difficult question, but for him to get a chance from me, the next 4 matches will be important. Our opponents are getting stronger, it will be even harder for us to get into the top 6-7 next time. Villa will definitely spend, Pool too, City and Arsenal are strong enough now, Chelsea will also find themselves. If we want results, we have to improve at all levels, Howe too.

This is how you buy a player wisely, you can learn from him. They bought him for 28.5M, now the market value is 40M minimum, and his weekly salary is 45,000 And he can pass the ball from the wing. How much would they pay for Elanga now??

I've always been with Howe, but I'm starting to think he's not the best fit for the job. He's always looking for excuses, the tactics and substitutions are predictable. Ramsey and Willock didn't convince with their performances either, except for Hall and Miley, everyone can go. According to the news, we were keeping an eye on Rayan, but we still let him go to Bournemouth, even though he would have been a good buy.

The results so far are terrible, and the worst thing is that after spending a lot, we are even weaker and our PSR position is worse. What does Howe say about this? He always finds excuses.

Keeping Hall and Miley is the most important thing, and if possible Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton and the others can go, we need to improve on player purchases, if the goal is a top 6 place then we really need quality players. We used to spend money with both hands, but we regretted signing Rayan, even though he is only 19 years old and talented.

The transfer fee and weekly salary are not commensurate with his skills, that's a fact, but now towards the end of the season he could be played, and even should be, maybe in a different formation. The same goes for Woltemade, both should be in the starting lineup once we've bought them. Howe will solve it. Maybe 4-4-2, but more like an attacking 5-3-2.

Leeds 3-1 Burnley Brentford 1-1 West Ham Newcastle 2-1 Brighton Wolves 1-1 Sunderland Arsenal 1-2 Fulham Bournemouth 3-1 Palace Man United 3-1 Liverpool Villa 1-1 Spurs Chelsea 3-1 Forest Everton 2-2 Man City

Either you should have sold it as soon as possible, or you should have been tough and not let it go no matter what.

There would have been more loan options and it wouldn't have been as risky.

I don't know, but Elanga, Woltemade and Ramsey will need a lot of time, even if they manage to settle in. At the moment, Miley is better than Willock or Ramsey. Woltemade can still be saved if we find his place, but not in a 4-3-3 formation, he won't be good there.

How can other teams integrate players into the squad in a shorter time? e.g. Semenyo, Ekitike, Mbeumo, Cunha, Simons

I agree, the midfield was more stable, Hall and Livramento could help more in the attacks, and there were those who took advantage of the situations. The players arriving are not of the right level, and the opponents have become much stronger and are getting stronger. More creativity is needed, and smarter, more precise play, and for this you need the right players. I may be biased, but there is Szoboszlai in the Pool, for example, he can decide matches with his passes, free kicks, and corners.

It should have been left at the beginning of his salary negotiations. He became one of our highest-paid players. He's an idiot who signs a contract like that when Hall, Livramento or Miley play football for a fraction of the salary.

Speed alone is worth nothing, without accurate passes and ideas. Miley would be worth more even as a winger. The many poorly completed attacks are draining our energy. We need more better prepared attacks.
