Expectations - 2021/22

[LangleyBlue1970]

Retain the league. Win the CL.
If we retain the LC again, what a bonus. Sacrifice the FA Cup, purely because it clashes too much with preps for the end of the season run in - and hopefully a second final in the CL.
Retaining the league title and winning our first CL = an excellent season.

I love the league cup, and the charity shield

Also, for these trophies Pep mostly uses the second string players. Good way to keep them happy.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

To be docked points for being unable to field a team.

 

[mayo31]

Just to challenge

The rest will take care if itself

I remember the days when the season was either a relegation fight or even a non event

Great being in the mix for the top trophies and that is my expectation, to be so again

This is going to sound a bit mad but I am hoping for a tactical evolution. At times last year we looked impotent in big games and we didn’t really have “something different”. Maybe a recognised striker is that (but looking at Kane drop into MF with England playing a similar system I’m not so sure) but for periods this season we were sometimes quite toothless

(Yes yes. Spoiled I know! But just want us to get better and better!)

Wouldn't be surprised If Pep spends the summer coming up with a new system.

what for season card renewal?

what for season card renewal?

No, a new style of playing, like playing without a striker this season...only different.

 

[hertsblue]

Get a top class striker in and challenge for the League.
False no 9 and no new class striker = fight for top 4

Hopefully those even worse than usual officiating performances in the last few games were not a sign of things to come

I'm hoping for a title fight against someone other than the dippers. Hopefully if us and Chelsea are the two main contenders it will be less toxic than when we have battled Klopp's bunch of cultists.

Would like to win the league obviously but would settle for the Champions League, Carabao and top 4 (as long as we finish above the rags).

That does look pretty entitled reading it back!
