We're still 7 games away from the halfway mark. Did you mean over a 1/4th of the way through the season?

Regardless, Southampton is for real and LFC will move top 10 but finish outside of top 4. 6th or 7th seems about right.

Too much to drink last night!

So far, I don't think that any of those 3 struggling teams have shown any reason for me to believe that they will figure it out. I think Pool probably has the best chance to put it together but I wouldn't be surprised if they all hung around the same area of the table. The only thing that makes me think they will start to climb a little is that I do not have faith in some of the surprises (West Ham, Stoke) to keep up their form.

I think Southamption is for real (best GD in the league). Top four for real? We'll see. But definitely top six/seven.

Swansea is pretty damn good, too. Not sold on the rest.

Will be a big January. Arsenal, United, and Liverpool are all going to fight like hell for top four. I think Chelsea and City are safely in. Arsenal and United will have to address defensive issues in January, and Liverpool will be tougher when Sturridge returns. I wouldn't be shocked if Southampton and one of those three round out the top four.

Spurs are shite.

Burnley, QPR, and Villa go down.

They already have. Though I think they're one John Terry/Gary Cahill injury away from some issues at the back.

I think they are for sure top 4

West Ham I think is top 7.

Need more consistency but playing well as of late. Big game with Man City after the break. Cannot afford any injuries to Bony or Gylfi though. If they can get some FB cover in January that will go a long way to finishing top 7.

I thought Montero was outstanding vs. Arsenal. Gave Chambers hell, and Chambers has been good this year.

Ki Sun Yeung is underrated, too, IMO. Highly intelligent positionally.

And I've loved Gylfi since his Reading days. Such a great player. So glad he left Sp*rs.

He was (see highlight I posted in other thread). He is very direct. He is going straight for the byline and crossing 99% of the time. His first couple steps are so quick though he is hard to defend.

Having an outstanding season playing deep in CM. Looks like a different player than he was 2 seasons ago. Lack of a CDM was a major concern going into this season and his play has been a nice surprise.

He really is fun to watch. When the play flows through him is when it's at its best.

I will also say that Bony has the best hold up play in the BPL.

Has not been very good this year. Was awesome last year, but this season he's been very average.

I also forgot Ivanovic can play centrally. A back line of Luis-Terry-Ivanovic-Dave would be a good alternative. I don't know what depth Chelsea has beyond that first five in defense, but it might not matter. I also wonder if Matic can play in the back.

well cesc pulled out of spain's match with a hammy problem. he and costa becoming fickle is the only way this shite could stay remotely interesting. their top XI is stacked. they'd probably be as bad as arsenal and manU if they had similar injury issues. they aren't deep.

I don't know anything about Zouma other than he's 20.
