Last season it wasn't just the top sides who beat us, but mediocre ones like WBA, Bolton, Newcastle, Stoke etc all defeated us. With a weaker squad this season, it's likely we'll suffer even more of these type of defeats against mid table sides, so it's not as if we're only going to regularly drop points against teams like United, City, Chelsea etc. This is why I think the best we can hope for this season is 6th or 7th place, and if the worse comes to worse and we don't sign any more players in this window, I can see us as low as 10th or 11th tbh.
