    I actually think a big part plays on whether or not they get a new keeper.

    If they stick with McGregor/Mclaughlin, then I think we'll win the league quite handedly, neither are anywhere near good enough.

    If they properly replace their GK, it'll be very tight.

    This! And also if they sell Morelos which I think they will if they don’t make the champions league. He’s their main player in the system they play, he’s got them out the * lots of times.

    Unless they start dropping £20m+ on technical central midfielders, what they do is irrelevant.

    When was the last time they actually outplayed us technically? Any result they’ve gotten has always been through bullying us off the ball.

    They’ve now reverted away from the brute force game plan, and the * they’ve brought in to play tippy-tappy football will not lay a glove on our midfield.

    It’ll be interesting to see what they do if/when they get knocked out of the CL qualifiers.

    Could see Kent or Morelos agitating for a move. And even if they don’t get one, it’s not ideal carrying two players wanting away - and I think both only have a year left on their contract. Could be a season of half arsing it.

    pls

    I'd be shocked if we don't win it, they don't have enough decent attacking players to win enough games.

    Newspapers are written in by huns for huns to read. No surprise if they tip the scum.

    Have to agree.

    They also don't have the defence. I think Goldson is a decent defender and plays the referee well, going down whenever someone touches him etc. However, the rest are really bad.

    Genuinely think that's what they're waiting for before signing on.

    The huns won't receive a bid that they want for either so they will wait until January to sign on frees. They'll put in half the effort as their heads will be elsewhere this season.

    Really need Union to put then out.

    Playing the day after us demolishing teams in the league will pile the pressure on.

    They'll fold like a house of cards.

    That’s just my point though. Facts are I’ve seen relatively few do it this year, and that is a surprise, for the obvious reasons you state (to a certain point).

    It’s testament to the work Ange has done, imo.

    Thats what I see happening as well, they will struggle to score goals in a lot of games, they will also concede first in a lot of games and make it tough for themselves.

    Just don't think they have the quality to compete with us.

    The way we play now we win quite easy against everyone in the League, we look like scoring 5 a game against them and we don't concede many chances. They concede chances and barely create anything, don't control or dominate games like us either.

    You are right.

    You see they lose Kent and Morelos and they've been absolutely toothless going forward. They have no depth in that area.

    We have choices of Kyogo, GG, Jota, Abada, Maeda and Forrest. That blows away anything they can field. We could lose three of those players and we'd still be more of a threat than they would with a full strength of Kent, Morelos and pick a random * hun attacker.

    Us without all our whole starting XI...

    Siegrist
    Ralston Jullien Welsh Bernabei
    Mooy Ideguchi
    Forrest Turnbull Abada
    Giakoumakis

    Is similar to their best XI.

    McLaughlin
    Tavernier Goldson Davies Yilmaz
    Jack Lundstram
    Matondo Lawrence Kent
    Morelos

    I think Hearts and Dundee United are pretty strong. Aberdeen seem * still but who knows and they tend to do well against the Huns. Hibs could get something going potentially if they get McGeady and Nisbet fit. Killie with McInnes and their dodgy pitch could cause them problems.
