What Constitutes a Successful Upcoming Season?

[Rebelblue]

It's not above my expectation and I don't believe it is above the expectation of anyone at the club.

As Pep has said numerous times we have to build our history. He is targeting back to back to back. Anything else is a bonus.

Some may have got ahead of themselves and seem to think we have earned a right to things, but thankfully the hierarchy haven't. The mighty scum rags were at the helm for 26 years of the whiskey nosed twat and won 2 CL's and a few fa cups.

These lads are here for the long haul and will absolutely take a domination of the domestic league as the staple diet. No one has to assume that means we won't be doing everything in our power to win cups, every cup we enter.

I'd agree. Winning the league again should be priority, and hopefully some good cup runs, and see how we go. I'd again try and blood more young lads in the League cup, as well. Nmecha, up top would be a good one, as we are quite light on strikers, so would be nice to see him get a few mins along with Foden and Diaz.

Cups are based, somewhat on luck, so to put that at the top of priority, is a little unfair on a manager. The league is usually the sign of quality and consistency.

I think when Pep talks of building our history it is to do with being accepted by Uefa and their referees. Although I agree with nearly everything you have said, I am not quite sure what you mean by the 'some may have got ahead of themselves' comment.

 

[leighton]

it be great to reclaim the title. Saying that i think that will be the hardest thing to do. After a world cup the league is always tighter. I think a cup win be great too. Injury free season we can go a long way in a lot of competitions. I just hope the squad is strong enough to cope with it again this time around.

He is probably referring, quite rightly, to those who think anything other than three trophies is a disaster.

 

[city986]

League but please beat the SCUM home and away

Whilst I wouldn't use the word disaster, I think anything less than 3 trophies will be slightly disappointing. Unless its the PL and CL.

Join the entitled group over there in the corner.

 

[carlosthejackal]

No idea , but to win back to back titles would be immense

 

[KCblue]

Win the league, semifinals or more in the CL, play yoof in the League Cup, and make a deep run in the FA Cup. I'd be plenty fine with that season.

 

[Adamb95]

Sorry mate, I appreciate your point of view but I want a team of winners, we need to improve.
If we win all four trophies but have to back off at the end of the season and play reserves saving 1st teamers for the CL final I guess a lower points total may be acceptable, but otherwise no.

I totally get that, but I have a feeling the league will be much tougher this year, based on Liverpool (most likely) improving as a result of their signings, and the possible influence of Sarri at Chelsea.

Question is, if you had to pick one trophy next season, the CL or the Prem, what would you take?

To be honest I was slightly parodying those who insist that nothing but the max is success.
Having said that specifically for us Liverpool can only take away three more points from us than they did last season.
I would be absolutely delighted with either league or CL, l would pick PL but would be very happy with CL.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

40 points will always be the holy grail for me , anything is a bonus after that.

I'd love for us to beat the dippers home & away, especially after that away CL leg last season! Although i would love for us to retain the Prem, I would personally prefer the CL- purely to silence the one comeback the rag fans have!

 

[BlueAnorak]

Winning the Premier League. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[OntarioBlue]

As a football fan I just want to continue to watch City play the beautiful game. As a City fan I would say winning the league is always the number 1 priority. Personally, I am less concerned with the Champions League but it would be great to see this team realise its true potential. We are as good as any team in the World. The players just need to believe it and deliver when we face the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich (oh yeah, and Liverpool)

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Win the league, again. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[hihosilva]

Defending the title has to be the main prority. It wont be as comfortable as last season & i expect Liverpool to be our closest challengers.
CL would be nice though.

There speaks the voice of many on here. Long, bitter experience of many years of heartache,

 

[Kompany is King]

Premier League title retention.

Entertaining football.

Foden & possibly other youngsters such as Diaz to get first team game time.
