The level that will be reached won't be a question of number of goals but the quality of them and, most importantly, the absolute domination of play leaving the opposition clutching at straws. We've seen glimpses of it in matches, even last season but it will eventually coalesce into something quite special
I agree there are higher levels to come, significantly higher. I was thinking that, watching a recording of the game. There are actually a lot of improvements we could make, even to a performance like that, which imo is the best thing about it, because we can, & most likely will, actually make those improvements. There is a desire to do exactly that.
An example was Pep's face when Stoke scored & also Delph's reaction, as if it was a last minute loser. He was so pissed off with himself.
From an attacking perspective, it is hard to imagine KDB can get so much better than he is now, but Jesus, Sane, Sterling are nowhere near the limit of their capabilities. Absolutely nowhere near. Forgetting Pep's team for a second, those 3 are just learning their own games at the moment, under his wing. They have years of improvement to come, literally, years.
Then add in, the potential team improvement, which Pep will strive for. It really is hard to imagine how good it could be.
The key of course, is that Pep sees it through, which means he has to sign a new deal. There is more than one season of improvement left in this squad & still potential for other signings in the future.
Hopefully he wants to push that as far as he can before moving on.
