I rate your team, but i think you are overrating them. I wouldn't be surprised if you finished ahead of Tottenham as i think they will struggle a bit playing in two big competitions(CL, EPL) and might not do that well in the league as a result. But City, Arsenal, Liverpool and the obvious United and Chelsea will most definitely finish ahead of Everton.
Last season, Saha played very well, Pienaar was in the form of his life. I'm not sure those players can emulate their form of last season.
I agree mostly with you, Im saying its not IMPOSSIBLE for Everton to finish in the top 4.
Saha was good for half of last season, the 2nd half he was appauling. Pienaar was good, but you forget, we played 4 months without Arteta, Fellaini, Jagielka, Anichebe
and Neville.
If we keep these fit for most of the season, and the key players dont all get injured at once, we have as good a midfield as anyone.
Bilyaletdinov, Arteta / Rodwell, Fellaini, Pienaar
Cahill
