Anybody worried about our rivals?

Just looking at some of the players being signed by our rivals, and aside from Chelsea, I'm not sure who else will be a huge threat. For me Arsenal have done well, but they still lack that midfield destroyer they need and a CB, Liverpool have made some okay signings but losing Suarez will be too big of a miss IMO, United will be better, but that squad isn't good enough to challenge.

Anyone genuinely worried about anyone other than Chelsea?

Would be surprised if united didn't challenge especially as they have no European football.

I think the title is out of us and Chelsea. Arsenal will be within the top three. One of Un*ted, Liverpool, Spurs and yeah why not, Everton, will take the 4th spot.

Not in the slightest, we can't influence them nor their tactics, all we can do is support our club and try and support our manager and players 100% even if the going gets rough. We have as good a squad as any and if we didn't have the distraction of CL I reckon we would piss the league and cups. Having said that it it would be superb to have a real go at Europe with a fully fit and functiong squad.

I've been impressed with our incomings,we are Champions and have become far stronger as a result of them.Sanchez aside,i've not been disappointed at 'missing out' on any other player.

Subsequently,i'm more than happy we are strong enough to defend the trophy and cause a stir in Europe.

I think Chelsea is the biggest threat to our chances, but who would have thought Liverpool a threat in August last year? Or predicted quite the meltdown by the rags? I know some did, but not many to the extent it happened.

Really I think it's as much about avoiding those stumbles against teams we should beat. We need to be aggressive but patient, professional and clinical against them. I don't expect a "bedding in" period for Pelle's system as we had last year that led to some of those early losses on the road, so this season we need to dispatch the teams we outclass right from the go.

If we do that and hold our own (a bit better than split points) against our closest rivals, we'll be Champions again.

I'm very worried..... for all of them.

Nicely put.i will be v happy once the dust settles and everyone is back from pre season and the signings are all bedded in.Imo we will see a team this season that will be head and shoulders above the others.bring it on.

I think Everton could be a suprise package this year they held onto Barkley and signed Lakaku.
