Expectations - 2021/22

I'd like to go the whole season without losing a single game; actually I'd like to win every.single.game.
One year someone will. Not in my lifetime?

As long as we put up a fight and finish there or thereabouts I'll be happy.

Top 4 finish.
CL semis.
FA Cup semis.
League Cup final.

I had similar expectations last year as I believed we were in transition, so I still think we performed beyond my hopes, thankfully. I thought Chelsea had built a solid squad 12 months ago but it only clicked from about March onwards, but I would be shocked if they weren't hugely better for 21/22 as I expect Liverpool, Reds and even Leicester to be. We have lost Aguero, who rarely played last year, and gained Grealish and we will buy one or two before 31.8.21, possibly not the ones people expect, as we don't usually opt for a short term solution to medium term problems. I expect a very competitive PL, plenty of shock results in the opening 6 to 8 weeks. There are so many unknowns but I would also be reasonably satisfied (not happy) with your expectations. What would keep me happy would be high quality football from our team, wherever that takes us.

Yep !. There is always some normally mid table team gets off to a flier, squads aren't finalised yet, some players just starting training and this year there will be Real, Barca, various Italian and PSG fire sales added to the last minute wheeling and dealing, maybe some contracts cancelled post 31st to add to the mix.
 
Champions and League Cup winners.
Champions League semi-final at least.

Happy days.
 
Think we will need to chase the pack down again as the pre season has once again been non existent. The teams are too good for even players of our quality to just rock up on a Monday and defeat with little training. Probably a rough start with hopefully another really strong middle where we push top. More scared of Liverpool rediscovering form than Chelsea at the moment but we may be helped if a lower point total is all it takes as I truly believe we will drop points early
 
Injuries, late returns, and a hell of a list of opening fixedures makes this tough. Chasing down the pack this year will be harder than last and we are more in transition (I think integrating Grealish and Kane will not be easy and will mean a change in tactics).
Top 4 this season and a bunch of coconuts will do ....
