One month ago I did not have any hope for this season. Was fine with finishing PL season whatever place in the table and obvy no chance in CL when we face first decent team. Would judge Potter next season but this exceptional transfer window changes completely everything. Huge hope for both competitions. b2b clean sheets also play part in optimism. Badiashile looks good pairing with Silva. Enzo is what we needed for a long time and should transform MF and Mudryk and Felix give us different dimension in attack. I mean, both in cameos looked different planet to all our current attackers. On top of that among our most important players that missed majority of current season James, Chilwell and Kante are coming back, even Fofana. Also I think all those changes can finally unlock what we expect from Havertz and Sterling. We are different team now. If they all gel well I dont see weak link in the starting 11. Even depth is great.
I am looking at Newcastle, 10 points ahead but when they have City, Brighton and Liverpool in a row soon I can easily see them losing 7 or 8 points there. We need run of wins and boom, we are a couple of points behind them with 15 games left.
By the look of it around 70 points will get you CL as usual. To reach that number we need to get 41 of possible 54 points till the end. So we can afford for example 3 draws and 2 losses in next 18 games. Dont look other teams just focus on us, game by game, every round is final for us now. I think we can do it but for sure so excited to watch team from now on.
Also talk of us needing a couple of years is laughable. Next season we are there fighting for every possible trophy.
