Can we count on Leicester totally collapsing for a 3rd straight season to allow us to sneak into the top 4 on the last match week?

I don't know why all this "other teams fucking up has helped us" is considered ground-breaking. Further down the league you go the more you rely on it. 

Infact unless you get 109 or more points you're technically at the mercy of other teams not doing their job.

As things stand we should be contending for both the league and CL.

I don't know how that's possible with Abraham, Bats, Broja & Werner as our CF options. 

If nothing notable changes, we'll have to hope a number of our other attacking options have the seasons of their lives in terms of output to be competitive in both.

Since Tuchel has been appointed, only City managed more points than us (7). 
 

Our attackers should do better this time around. Add the fact neither Liverpool, United, or City are adding quality at ST, our competitors are standing still. (United won’t challenge anything with Ole).

We ain’t getting remotely close to the PL title with our current squad. I’d bet my account here on that.

See post above.

Lets say no one comes in which actually looks kinda likely, then we will fight it out but we wont win the title, our rivals will boost up, plus the refs and injuries etc, nahh we wont win the title but we will do damage though. Really a pity if we dont bolster up.

fight for top 4 again, and zero titles if i count out supercup and cwc.

[Tomo 21,751]

If we are fighting for top 4 again with this squad (now more settled) then Tuchel wouldn't be any better than Lampard domestically.

The title is a different debate but unless it requires late 70's points (and even that's me being pragmatic) I just cannot forsee a top 4 scramble.

I don't expect Kane to remain at Spurs, so he'll be joining someone.

Jorginho NOT to be our best goalscorer.

If we do that would make Tuchel worse than Lampard domestically.

Before every season you have doom and gloom comments. Just like every season (now 3 in a row) you start in January till the end how we wont finish top4 but we always did.

Some members on here are always looking for worst possible scenario which never happens. In general in life, it is horrible to have this kind of mindset. Always pessimistic.

Maybe not as downbeat as Mana, but I'm not overly optimistic either.

Everyone is hoping there will be improvements from our attacking crop this season., but we've just had a lot of key players participate in a major tournament, and those players are returning late for a very short pre-season.

And right before the toughest set of opening fixtures we've had in ages!

And no fucking attacker signed yet to help make things easier for the rest of the squad.

That is a recipe for disaster and could really have a negative impact on the rest of the season. 

I don't care if Haaland is mission impossible...what's our plan B? You can't tell me there aren't any other half decent alternatives out there.

This kind of shit has become a recent trend for us following a good season.

No wonder we tend to bungle up the super cup.

More chance of Arsenal winning the Champions League first than Mana being positive about Chelsea.
