Expectations - 2021/22

[A57 the snake]

Getting through to the ticket office on the phone will do for me anything else is a bonus.

 

[Gray]

Give Chelsea a good hiding, they put a real damper on the end of last season.

 

[Blue back home]

Three trophies again. Chelsea will be more of a challenge but if we get Kane I think we will win the league, CL and one other

 

[ctwrd]

With Kane:
Retain the league
CL semi minimum
FA Cup SF minimum

without kane:
Title challenge
CL semi minimum
FA cup Sf minimum

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I’m expecting a bit of a tactical evolution if we get Kane. Maybe some form of evolution if Grealish plays as an 8 too

beyond that I hope for another title push and some cup success

 

[MadchesterCity]

I'm actually a bit worried about the coming season, that worry will be alleviated if we sign Kane (in my dreams Haaland).
I'm not sure Grealish actually improves our starting 11 but I'm looking forward to see what he brings to the team, hundred million is a big price tag to live up to.
Concerned about Foden and KDB injuries, ankle ligaments and facial injuries are worse than we're being told and he'll miss a large part of the season.
Hope Laporte stays and we can get a decent start to the season despite so many of our players coming back late and having to play all our rivals away from home at start of season. Hope we don't have a season of our players getting pinged and missing big matches due to covid. Can't wait to get back in stadium but dreading the queues and all the faff with Covid apps. Come on City

Expecting top four challenge / back to back titles need luck
Good cup runs
Dampened atmosphere /obnoxious away fans
Onset of tinnitus due to speakers booming out unnecessary guff
Tetchy fans at entrances due to teething problems for first few games
50/50 chance of car getting broken in to at some stage of the season

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Anything less than top 2 in the league and a domestic cup final is probably a massive underachievement. It's impossible to win the league every year, and always difficult to win it back to back no matter what people say, so that would be some achievement.

I will never, ever get bored of seeing City win trophies, and having been out of the ground for however long it has been it would be lovely to see them lift something again, even if it is "just" a league cup.

Very excited to see Dias, Grealish and other lads I've not seen play play in person. Dias in particular because there's only so much you see on telly.

CL semi finals would be nice, but once you get to that part it becomes trickier to manage. We have nothing to fear in that tournament now, so fingers crossed.

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

85 - 90 points is a quality season, if another team beat that so be it

The cups are a lottery but we’ve as good a chance as anyone - my preference is for a history making 5th League Cup on the bounce over the more prestigious FA Cup and CL.

The debut of rail seating to somehow give the atmosphere the kick start it needs

 

[Stoned Rose]

If Kane signs I cannot see anyone bothering us in the league.

I expect Foden to get even better and take on a "scruff of the neck" role in big games.

I expect Grealish to become a cult favourite a la Zabaleta and to fit the team like a glove.

I expect Mendy to get injured within 10 minutes of getting out of bed in the first week of the season and spend 80% of the season unavailable.
