Even though we lost against Fulham results have gone quite favourable for us with the other teams dropping points. As I type this Watford are losing 0-1 against Arsenal so currently another potential favourable result. My worry (which has been mentioned) are the remaining fixtures against Manchester United and Spurs which are matches I would think we'd drop points. Obviously I'd like to be wrong with that assumption. All the other fixtures left are winnable in my mind. So we'd still need other results to go in our favour.

So we are reliant on others now are we? Surely with more money spent and a superior squad, shouldn't the least be to finish 8th, as per last season.

It's a little bit different this year BCT. Most of the teams around us (leicester, wolves and West ham) have spent a lot more than us this season. In fact, everyone above us except Tottenham have outspent us.
We can't simply expect to waltz into 7th and 8th anymore even after spending 80 million.
We have been outspent and will continue to be because our last 2 managers blew all our money on inadequate players.
Silva and Brands have to ship out the unwanted/ not good enough players and try and rebuild this squad. They can't do that in one season.
You're just going to have to accept that we are now in a fight for 7th to 10th with other teams that have as much if not more money than us.
