League- Winners We potentially have the squad to do it if we invest in a world class striker. I don't see Man United as much of a threat because Moyes will want to put his own stamp on the team which will take time. Man City could be right up there and they have brilliant strength in depth. Where I think we will have the edge is gaining more points at home than in recent years. Mourinho has a fantastic record of home games and the last few seasons we have dropped stupid points at home, which I don't think we will do anywhere near as much now. FA Cup- Semi Final Of course this relies heavily on the draw. We could play teams in leagues below us and each the final with relative ease. Alternatively we could end up playing Premier League teams. Our record is very good in the FA Cup in recent years and we should try to win it but at the same time we shouldn't neglect a few fringe players. Give them playing time and mix one or two in with the first XI. I expect us to reach at least the semi-finals. League Cup- Don't care It would be nice to win this trophy, we haven't done so since 2007. However, I would rather see us experiment with some younger players, regardless of if we end up going out to a League One team at home because there are very, very few teams that bother taking this trophy seriously anymore. If we end up getting to the semi-finals like last season then that would be great. We should then play our strongest side because it would be 3 games with a potential trophy at the end. If we don't get that far I don't care as long as the likes of Chalobah, McEachran, Piazon et al are given a chance (providing they are not on loan). Super Cup- Winners This is a big, big ask. Bayern are the best team in Europe at the moment and are only getting stronger with Goetze and possibly Lewandowski. Can we beat them though? Yes. Mourinho has had the edge over Guardiola in recent years and finally worked out how to crack the Barca team. It would be a nice trophy to win, especially because it is Bayern as well, but I will hardly lose sleep if we don't win it. Champions League- Semi Final Like in the league, we potentially have the squad to do it. I genuinely think with a Cavani or Jovetic up front we will have one of the best teams in Europe, plus Mourinho who is the best technical coach in the world. Like in the FA Cup it depends on the draw. We could draw Bayern or Barca in the last 16 and go out then or we could end up playing Copenhagen and then Porto and end up progressing to the semi finals fairly comfortably. If we have the 3 creative midfielders playing like they were last season with a top drawer striker and solid holding player behind then I don't see many squads better than ours. Bayern and Barca have better ones IMO but I don't see Dortmund, Milan, Madrid with stronger squads than us.
