How come we can't win the league ?
I think we played the best football overall last season, albeit interspersed with a few dreadful performances too which cost us a challenge.
I just have the feeling that a different attitude will prevail this season....especially with such quality youngsters knocking on the door. I predict Kelechi will be a household name by the end of the season.
I shall have a couple of quid on him for the golden boot......you never just know !!!
And no i ain't been on the funny stuff !!!

We can win the league. As can three or four other teams. Chelsea, as champions, will be favourites and like it or not we are playing catch up with them. Mourinho will be his usual boring self again. I think we can win it, but I expect us to finish second. No shame in that

It's interesting isn't it, that as it stands now, we are underdogs and winning the league would be quite an achievement - although I reckon we might take a few by surprise with the performance of a couple of younger players in the squad if we get a chance

So saying we must win the prem and a cup and semis of the CL might end up a disaster. I just want us to seriously compete for every trophy and play great football and win at least something. Yes I want us to do better than we have in the CL but it would actually be nice not to have one of the best 3 teams in the world to compete against in the league stages.
I definitely want some of the young guns to get their chances in the first team as substitutes maybe initially but as starters as the season develops.
