Can we surpass last season?

Win the league and CL

I think it's highly unlikely in terms of sheer point total. But, retaining the league title + another trophy is well within reach and should be our goal.

Or maybe this is the year we finally crack the champions league...

No

Sometimes the simple responses are the most correct. I agree.

The minimum targets have to be 90 points in the league (if that is bettered, so be it, they deserve it) and at least a Semi Final in Europe. It would also be nice to get to the FA Cup final in May. We should be able to achieve all of these goals given a bit of luck, which we have not had in August.

It’s early days but the players don’t presently look as hungry- so whilst I think we’ll do okay I simply don’t see us hitting last seasons highs but I hope we do.

There has been a lack of crispness and some lethargy to their play, but it is early days yet - I think Vinnie might give some of them a kick up the posterior.

I agree re Vinny and I think Kun looks sharper than ever and I guess we all trust in Pep.

It will be so so tough. Seriously though all the teams that had a large world cup contingent look leggy. Not surprised Watford or the like are up there. It'll shake down by Nov. Still think we'll win the league, but 100 points, nope.

No but I hope we get better as a team & as other posters have said become more clinical.

Still not clinical.
