Does anybody think, with city and Liverpool being favourites and everyone expecting them to fight it out, it could help us this season?
Most seasons we are expected to challenge and to win it, obviously fans still expect that as we are Manchester United 👀 But amongst pundits and other rival fans, they don't rate us. Maybe this might take the pressure off and let us go about our season quietly and hopefully get the results to be up there. On other topics, doesn't seem like klopp likes being one of the favourites, mentioning just because they have spent loads they shouldn't be expected to win it? That's what everyone's expected from us when we've spent a lot, welcome to reality
I wonder if they will deal with the pressure when it comes down to it, could be a very interesting season anyway.
Expectations..

Liverpool are being grossly overrated. They will be coming down to earth with a big bump. Their defence is still very flakey against any half decent team. And if Milner is going to be a regular. Then would he get anywhere near any of the other top four teams? Of course he wouldn`t.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You clearly either
a) Didn't watch Milner against the West Ham
or
b) Have no clue about football.
or
c) Both of the above.
I'm going with "c".
But you've filtered me ( #metoo ) so I guess you won't see this ya weirdy.

Don't worry. I'll post it for you so Sandy can see....
Oh, wait.

FYI sandy, I agree with the two scousers - you are talking absolute tripe.

Put it this way, if Klopp doesn't win it but still manages 2nd or 3rd, can you see him getting the sack? Not for me. He has made huge strides in 2 full seasons.

But sooner or later you will want to be winning something.

3 finals in 2 full seasons. I think we've been unlucky if anything. We're competing for the big prizes now and that's down to Klopp.
It pains me to say it, but we're unfortunate to be looking so good at a time when City look almost unbeatable - otherwise, I'd have us favourites for the title and that's something we haven't been able to say for a long time.

As ever, Chelsea are my dark horses! Particularly, if they keep Hazard.
Strikers is only where Chelsea are arguably poor.
I also like Sarri ball, and it depends on how quickly the team adapts to Sarri ball. Probably a season too soon.
City champions and runaway favourites. The rest are losers - but we have to qualify for the CL.

It'd be a very sad may if United were to look up the table and find liverpool and City above them!!!
We have to win a cup or two to cushion that blow, IMO.

I haven't read all the replies so sorry if it's been said
OP I don't see Liverpool battling it out with City or being favourites
If anything I see Spurs, if they can get the whole new ground sorted, to be more of a threat
If Jose does in fact have a meltdown, then I see us suffering big time. If not then I see Liverpool fighting for top 4 at best
Of course things can happen during the season, so if a team is out of all comps and just focusses on the league etc etc or major injuries to key players.

Thanks
But think about it.
Spurs have no new people to bed in
They finished above Liverpool even though they played at Wembley and had issues early on and teams played harder because it was wembley and they won't get another opportunity
Spurs will be a bigger threat than Liverpool imo

Spurs record at Wembley last season was only four points worse than ours at OT.
They got the same number of points as Liverpool did at Anfield.
And only one of those two teams has improved over the summer.

Spurs finished above Liverpool by virtue of a dodgy 93rd penalty. I rate Spurs but heavily fancy us to come above them this season. Alder and Rose are still not playing and a midfield if Dier and Sissoko is not CL standard. Wanyama, Dembele and Winks have less working legs than Heather Mills.
