I think we'll struggle until Christmas including one or two heavy defeats against our rivals. After Christmas, when everyone is writing us off, I think we'll go on a charge to top 4 and an FA Cup win.

Pretty much how I see our league seasonI think we'll struggle until Christmas including one or two heavy defeats against our rivals. After Christmas, when everyone is writing us off, I think we'll go on a charge to top 4 and an FA Cup win.
No idea about the Cups, FA cup would be nice

If it pans out like he'll be sacked.I like how low you set your expectations, this way you should be delighted. Genuinely, if thats how our season pans out then Pep will have had a mare.
We'll be to busy in BM meltdown to even noticeIf it pans out like he'll be sacked.

Christ on a bike mourinho would romp the league with our squad. How? By playing to our strengths rather than weakening us by asking players to do things they can't.
By the way I refuse to believe Pep will be so foolhardy. In the last 5 years we have won 2 titles on the last day and put in two poor defences. Last year was embarrasing. To my mind chucking another season is unacceptable.
100% right.

Waste of time trying to predict the cups cos so much always depends on the draws. Don't think we'll finish any higher than 6th in the league though. Not enough physicality up through the spine of the team, a semi permanently injured leader, lack of quality striking options for a 55 game season, any number of midfielders and defenders ill equipped to play the 'passing out from the back and pressing up top' game the manager wants, and based on yesterday we're gonna be playing catch up from the off. If we can keep Kompany, Gundogan, KDB, Fernandinho, Sane and Kun fit then we may crack the top 4, but in honesty I can't see us finishing above Liverpool, the rags, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea. Long term and with another summer transfer window under his belt, Pep has the ability to drag us back up to the top, but this season looks like a learning curve to me
Third wasted season on the trot in the PL then......NOT good enough irrispective of the circumstances.

Rather reluctantly, I'd have to say looking at our squad right now I'd take top four if offered it. My heart says we can win it, but honestly when Delph looked like the best player last night, it makes me realise how much we've regressed. Pep needs to work miracles to get better than 4th.

At the end of November we will be at least 9 points behind the leaders, very similar to Pellegrini's first season
The difference being that this season there is a lot more quality in the Prem and we won't claw it back
