Pre Season is over and the big kick off is mere days away so I'm curious to see how you are all feeling about the season ahead. Expectations, aspirations, any concerns etc.
Keep this to the squad in its current state please, I know we are a couple players short and will likely make an addition or two but try not to include fantasy transfers.
For me a successful season would be a worthwhile title challenge, top three minimum, quarters CL and maybe a cup.
Mourinho has a very good record in his second season, the squad has had a year working with him and have been successful with trophies in that time not to mention the investment so I'm hopeful that we'll see an improvement this time around. I think the title will be tough, there is a lot of good sides that could possibly win it but other commitments may get in the way so maybe we could sneak it.
We're hard to beat, we've added even more physical specimens to the team and Mourinho is going to try to bully his way to the title beating the cannon fodder and scraping the odd win against the top 6. It won't be pretty and I'm not sure we'll pull it off but we need to put in a fight at least. The lack of goals is a worry and our attacking approach doesn't seem to have changed much from last season, no real patterns to our play, not enough numbers, lack of fluidity but hopefully he can sort his problems with Martial and that the addition of Matic does actually free up Pogba to ease these issues.
