Lge Cup 5th round
I'll be honest, I still think we've got a lot of shifting/chopping/changing to do before we look like anything decent (relative to where we want to be) and have any kind of recognisable pattern of play or structure that looks like pushing us to new heights. Much of last season was hindered by the ridiculous injury situation that stalled any progress on this front.
Because imo there is still much to do on this front, being in the EL is this year's bogey man, fixture pile up (and I pray not injuries with it) will be a hindrance to the work Jose wants to do. It's not hard to envisage Jose chagrin when this comes to pass.
And we then have the knock on from that. Will Jose start to revert to his ugly end game and will our best players want to stay if we fail to achieve CL again? We could be staring down the barrel.
As you can see I'm a little pessimistic I just think we c.ould of done with just a 38 lge game and domestic cups seasons this year. More space to breathe, keep the special one 'off tilt' and sorted our sh.it out.
Edit: i did say we'd win the FA cup
