8th or above. Realistic I reckon. Good call, but I think we will find it harder to take points off the top clubs (except Arsenal maybe  ) so we must improve at getting 3 points against the teams below us. Like Swansea did when they achieved 8th, season before last: www.soccerstats.com/team.asp?league=england_2015&teamid=30 |

I can see another strong season at Spurs and leicster although the later will suffer with champs league.
Arsenal will struggle under the same brand of football with average players unless they sign a top striker and defender they will slide away with the likes of man united, man city and Chelsea having a shake up.
I was really impressed with klopp last year and the players seem to buy into his style as much as I don't really like him he is different to most.

I have always been very positive when considering forecasting Stoke's future. I have always been critical of the wrist slashers and doom mongers also. We had some real bad luck with injuries last season losing many defenders to long term injury. Last season I feel management were negligent in their responsibilities. They should have brought in another experienced centre half or even opted at worst to retain Huth who wouldn't have been happy initially but in retrospect would have been very active in the team.
I have stated previously that IMO Stoke need to sign two centre halves who would push the best we have at presently at the club. Defensively I am concerned with what we have to offer. We are conceding goals too easily and then add to that we are showing signs of a lack of cutting edge and I believe honestly that somewhere between tenth and fifteenth could be our destiny this season. These thoughts have been like gathering clouds in my mind. I seriously hope I am proved totally wrong. The signing of Berahino, Allen and another couple of quality players would of course drive these clouds away!

Like Swansea did when they achieved 8th, season before last: www.soccerstats.com/team.asp?league=england_2015&teamid=30Looking at that, you're right. With the talent at our disposal we should pose more of a threat and basically be more clinical / cynical in finishing games off. I'm genuinely optimistic about the season (case of having to be) and yes, beat the sides around and below and nick what we can from above. |

looks a strong middle of the table now, think anywhere between 8th and 15th if we find a goalscorer in our ranks then we can push a touch higher if we get the luck of last season with injuries and goals are hard to come by then 10th to 15th.
whatever i am going to enjoy it!!!!

Unless we strengthen the defence, we'll be hard-pressed to reach 14th. I see no reason to think we won't leave off where we ended last season at the mo.

You could be right i am concerned that there,s been no mention of a back up keeper or centre back. If we start off like we finished its gonna be a long hard season. |
