Bodes well for us. I’m not confident of keeping Zouma though, he’s top drawer.

Also, incredible record from City to have this form at the end of the season without arguably their best player KDB.

Fuck Liverpool.

I am actually relatively confident we can get very close to the top 6 next season. This league is getting harder by the season, and getting results for these guys (barring City and Liverpool this year) is increasingly difficult (as it is for us). Bear in mind that all 3 teams coming up are bigger clubs as well, with 3 crap clubs dropping out.

Lets see what we can do in the summer in terms of keeping loans and signing some additional quality.

as you say all about the summer, ideally need to keep that XI together and add a striker to it, that should get us that extra 10/15+ points to challenge those above, weve gotta see a big improvement next season. Arsenal, Chelsea & United having problems and need mass rebuilding, Chelsea might not even be able to sign anybody, weve got to take advantage

United, Arsenal and even Chelsea have been poor this season and yet we're still miles behind them

[Ravardo]

Chelsea's bans been upheld so there now taking it to the court of arbitration

We were really poor from December until February, the Christmas period killed us, we over used the likes of gomes, although ourselves and spurs had the least rest time of any club over that period.

This season was always about finding an identity and improving on last season, weve won more, scored more, conceded less, weve got something to build on now, and a mostly young side - ourselves Leicester & Wolves are in good positions to mount a decent challenge on the top 6 next season, all depends on the summer though.

[Mick 1995]

Whilst i agree with the sentiment, we don't have the squad to be able to keep up this form for an entire year.

There is going to be a few months when we're just shit and nothing we do seems to work out.
What the last few months has done though, is stabilised the situation and Moshiri wont be calling for Silvas head when we next go on a run of poor form.

Which is a blessing, because i'd like to see what him and Brands can do with 4 or 5 windows together.

[GrantyBoy78]

To over-simplify our requirements: we need a goal scorer and like-for-like quality of the bench.

Both are achievable ‘gets’ this transfer window.

End of season form has little correlation to the following season.

It's going to the last day to see if we get higher than 10th, and the quality gap around us (which is what kills us) is too narrow, we're all effectively in the same boat.

Need to buy well and get lucky.

As we should know after many seasons under Moyes.

Strong end to the season followed by a shit start to the next one.

And it’s not really likely anyway.

A) there’s a massive gap

B) you’re own players come and go

C) other teams change, not only personnel but also their own form and confidence.

It’s an easy assumption to make, looking at positions 4/5/6 struggling (a bit) and think that they’re relatively easily attainable.

But you have to remember that their supporters will be assuming that they’ll only get better.

And that’s without everyone around us also having the same conversations as above.

We don’t need to get ahead of ourselves because unless we’re lucky, then small increases to our targets are only realistic.

[hannu]

in all fairness we where looking half decent until we imploded after the liverpool howler

[Hesmenos]

We've also been quite lucky with injuries this season. Apart from Mina I can't think of anyone else who has been out for that long. Not sure our squad is strong enough yet if we had long term injuries to key players (Pickford, Gana, Richarlison)
