1. The partnership of Stevie Ireland and Gareth Barry!
2. The aerial threat of Roque Santa Cruz from corners / free-kicks.
3. The improvement of Robinho through having one year to settle in.
4. See point 2 again if Lescott signs for us.
5. See point 5 - the potential partnership of Nedum and Lescott in the centre.
6. Bojinov (if still here) being fully fit and making an impact when called upon.
Anything else?
I think MH really, really needs to hit the ground running this coming season and anything below top six and it's cheerio for him come end of the season. Personally I don't think that'll be the case because I think he'll get it right, you can see the kind of team he's building now.
