Looking forward to this season. I think we will fly well under the radar as our transfer activity will be relatively modest.
For my money we are probably coming into this season better physically and mentally than the previous two. I think both were in the bin at the start of last season.
Jose has had plenty of time to assess the squad now and has already started plugging the gaps with PL experienced players that should be good to go. We saw in the mini season that was project restart the improvement defensively and the players being a bit more tactically aware.
I look at all the above and I can see a significant improvement over last season. We have the firepower to win a lot of football matches, especially if we defend better as a team and have better luck with injuries.
Now if all of the current big 6 perform at their maximum we might be outsiders for top 4 but we all know football doesn't work like that. I think we'll be well in that CL mix. I'm getting positive vibes from recent interviews with Dier and Jose, confidence can take you a long way. COYS
