Said before we made any signings I thought we could get top half with our current squad.
After Saturdays performance I've not changed my mind....top 8 for me
De Paul signs with another CB - 8th
Otherwise - 12th

Top 6
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Love this from you! Not sure what you have been up to while not being as visible on here but I hope you have had an enjoyable time. You’ve certainly got a lot more faith in the club. Last season you predicted 7th I believe. And we won by 10 points. So does that mean we will win by more this season?!
I fancy us to challenge top 6. But could be as low as 12th. There won’t be much between a number of sides outside the top 5. Thinking arsenal make up the top 5. Then Everton, Spurs, Wolves, maybe Newcastle, and hopefully us will be around a similar level.
A good first season would be 14th. Thereafter top 10 followed by top 6. Dreaming
Very happy with the owners plan as well. Establish ourselves in the Premiership and aim for Europe in the next few years. I would like to see us get there as soon as possible but need to make sure we are secure before risking too much
Leicester showed nothings impossible!..
Top 6 for me!..
We've shown those that didn't see before Saturday we ain't no pushover!..
I think top half is optimistic but not impossible. I would say maybe 11th/12th.
Need another CB, playmaker and CF. Get those then comfortable top 10.
Probably just outside the top 10.

Indeed.
But as much as you'll take teams by surprise somewhat, eventually teams will also work out a way to play against you.
A good start to the season is crucial for Leeds, and midtable would look like a good first season back in the Prem for this team.
jiou, I'll be happy with survival, but I think we can do better, and this is outside of the 2 new players that played is more or less a Championship side, but the togetherness these players have and the way Bielsa has drilled them, I think there is more to come!..
And talk is off new players coming in, so that should be a help as well!..
top half of the bottom half would be good
13th..still more issues to be solved before top half....
Coming home... champions, Bamford Ballon d'or

Playing great is all well and good.
But ill start thinking about a top half finish once we start to register some points on the board
Get the defence sorted out and I'm going for top 10.
I'm sticking with 9th or thereabouts. I have a sneaking suspicion we'll do well not least because for many of the squad, this will be the third year under Bielsa's direction and I think all the players will learn to adapt quickly to the new conditions of the PL. Even Bamford netted against Liverpool, ffs - he might give us twenty this season!
I'd be very happy with 9th.
i don't think we surprised liverpool at all. were just a well coached tough to beat team. with a little luck which all teams need i'm sticking with tenth.
hoping we pick up a player or two more to strengthen the depth. once we get a few wins i think we'll all enjoy this pressure free season more than the last two nerve wreaking must win seasons.
i am already.
I'm pretty sure Norwich still felt optimistic after their first game last season. But, it's a long season. And probably the best league in the world. I'll go with 'other' - very much doubt top 10 finish. We'll not get relegated though.
And I'll be happy as hell with that.
think Arsenal, Leicester, Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Wolves and Spurs will finish above us. 10th Seems achievable.
Fekk sake some of you lot predicting top 6, what you have got breakfast? Need 5 quality additions for top 6, a no10 and a cb for top 10...... otherwise current squad around 12-15th.
Reckon we’ll get a few thumpings along the way - just because of the nature of our style of play. Also, come on lads Harrison and costa have had their 1/5 good games early, so they’ll go missing again until mid-Oct ...

This.
We have tried to press you but your midfield players were comfortable on the ball and could easily find a player in space. This is all movement coaching with drills of passing and moving in space. Most premier league teams are static in their movement and are about keeping to not be out of position. The hitting it long to Caroll and flick it to Wilson type teams.
I think you will outplay most teams but the one you need to watch out for are the teams who play on the break with pace.
A14, we scored 3 goals against the best team in England, funny, because last year we had hell trying to score goals!..
People said in the Premier league we'd struggle because of the lack off, well, what we did Saturday says differently!..
2 penalty's against, feck what could have been!..
This team doesn't need to much to improve it, and players being touted suggests we're still looking!..
We don't need 5 player's, and Costa and Harrison are better than a lot here give them credit!..
