So...where should we finish?
This isn't really a 'predictions' thread in the usual sense given that we've only got 5 games left. Rather, it's about where we are in the great scheme of things compared to the other teams in our league. When I look at the table, I think about 14th is our 'true' position. I would argue that all of the teams above us are better than us either purely because of the quality of the squad or, in the case of teams like Burnley, Sheffield United and Everton, because their combination of a better manager who has a better system for his players and a style of play that suits them puts them ahead of us. I would put Southampton and Crystal Palace in that latter category at the moment, too.
At best, currently, I don't think we're better than our present position of 12th. Yes, 2 or 3 more wins could push us into the top half but the same could be said of any of the teams around us.
Thoughts?
