Are expections too high for next season?

[warpig]

Still many factors to weigh into what we can expect next season. Will we even be in the CL next season? Will we have got our transfer targets? If we are in CL we'll be pot 2 & could get Barcelona and another group of death. Who will our rivals bring in (players/managers)?

I'm certainly not expecting the world from Pep in his first season as I feel it will be a fairly transitional season from old guard to new guard, all I hope for is an improvement tactically & off the ball.

couldn't agree more. Can see it taking the best part of a season to get our defence sorted out.

You only have to study the way that Klopp has transformed a shapeless, clueless outfit into a highly motivated vibrant, dynamic fighting machine,to realise that we don't need a desperate fire sale.

Not really true though. He inherited a very young side. Pep is inheriting the opposite. We need new blood and we need to ship out the complacent and the past it players in our squad.

I agree about the complacency, but I was thinking more of players like Navas, Sterling, Delph, and Fernando, who could all thrive, if given specific coaching demands.

I think there's some very basic technical requirements that you need to have to thrive under Pep. With the exception of Raheem not sure the others have them.

The job Klopp has done is exceptional btw.

It's simple - minimum requirement is 40 points. Nothing more and nothing less. Well perhaps have 40 before the last game of the season.

You cant compare. The spine of Klopp's team was not ageing and a bit stale. And we need new fullbacks urgently

I saw Milner cross with his left foot, more times in midweek, than his whole City career put together. Coincidence or confidence?
Sure, we've got an ageing nucleus, but there's also a few of our younger players, who need guidance and motivation.
