Will do expectations vs predicitions.
Expectations:
Top 3 finish.
CL quarters.
CWC winners
FA Cup - quarters
LC - quarters
Supercup - meh.
Less than 30 conceded.
More than 75 scored.
Predicitions:
2nd in league. Sorry, but even if we signed Mbappe, a LB and an AM that everyone wants I'd still have City down as favourites. Ridiculously balanced squad, incredible players. Experienced, young, one of best managers in the world. Been there and done ~100 point seasons twice, back to back.
CL, I think we'll go very close again. Tight semi final exit maybe but I think we'll make the final. This team over two legs is a beast and Anfield speaks for itself. City will need to be taken care of in this competition too.
Think we'll win the CWC comfortably. Not sure on supercup but at same time I literally don't care. Wouldn't swap a Premier league goal for that trophy.
Domestic cups, always depend on draws and expecially for the FA Cup, player fitness and availability after the most intense period of the season. Any sort of reasonable first round draws and I think we'll go deep. Will say we win one and get to quarters in the other.
General stuff:
We'll hit 88-93 points.
Keita has a superb season.
Ox plays ~40 games.
Brewster gets 10-15 in all comps. Going at about 1 in 2.
Hopes:
Obviously, that I'm wrong and we win everything!
Mainly though that the home crowd retains the composure and calmness that was the norm towards the end of the season, regardless of early form and results. There's the beginnings of discontent being shown, quite unbelievably, that remind me of the angst that grew with Rafa.
