2012/13 Expectations

[Tomo 21,751]

I wonder now we have finally won it, if getting knocked out of the Champions League will feel different in the coming season's?

When we got knocked out in the past, it was complete and utter heartbreak, the chance to get that elusive title and find the holy grail gone, wonder how it feel now we have done it.

We can definitely feel way more relaxed, as the talk 'this year our last chance' etc. is surely gone. No pressure for the 'old guard'. Anyway, they will still regard it really high, no doubt. But it is way better to be under pressure because of the possibility to be the first team to retain the trophy, and not to be still the team that has never won it.

My expectations are simple and realistic imo.

• Win FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup
  
• Finish in top 4 in the league
  
• Advance past Champions League group stage
  
• See improvement in performances by the end of the season
  
• Robbie to do well and avoid the sack in mid-season

Win the Champions League.

1. Win at least 2-3 of the cup competitions we're in this season.

2. Finish in the Top 3 in the league and this is a must!

Can't see us winning the title again just yet. This season, it's all about building the foundation to challenge consistently for the league and other competitions in the future.

- Setting a positive tone for a future mind development, i.e. playing young players as much as possible (if we sit comfortable in a game, cup competitions, group stages)

- Robbie being manager for the 2013/14 season

- Torres starting to get more goals, better football in the middle of the park, more spark in our game in general

Trophy wise i really don´t know. I guess the Euro/World Cup Super blabla competitions should be managable.

Securing Champions League for the following season, a good cup run, CL Semis, and I´d be delighted.

And yes, and start winning games against the other big four again, ffs.

[HRiver 1,512]

What I would like to happen and what I hope for:

- Top 3 finish in the league

- Champions League semi-finals

- FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup

What I think will happen:

- Top 4 finish in the league

- Champions League quarter-finals

- Community Shield

I'm not optimistic at all about this season tbh.

The biggest priority whilst our new team overhaul is being established and learning to play with each other is to ensure we get top 4... Without it we will face what would have happened this year in unable to sign high profile players and less money etc, and once you are out of it it is even harder to get back in... So unless we were to win the champions league (again ), If we don't get top 4 then the season will be extremely bad no matter how many other cups we win... Though i am feeling optimistic that we can be in a very good top 4 position by march next year and have a good run at the fa cup and champions league...
