Premier League has to be the Priority. Anything less than that would be fucking sad and a failure from his side. He would get a 100M, a fucking HUNDRED MILLION lol, plus he aready has Mata and Hazard, So PREMIER LEAGUE IS A MUST :cfc:

And if he really is the special one, It'd not be wrong to expect another Champions League cherry :halo: ?

I don't have my biggest expectations for this season as it'll be Mourinho's first and I think the team needs a lot of adjustments as RDM unfortunately isn't a very tactical manager and any word said about Rafa Benitez is more than he deserves.

So while I expect us to challenge EPL and go deep in CL I know this will be a transition season and I just we evolve as a team. We only had a bunch of players (some of which amazing and promising) but we never had a team this season or a pattern or something collective and still we finished EPL 3rd and won Europa League. For the future both things will be unacceptable, but for next season I really want to see improvement and some of the boys off on loans to join the team.

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.

I'm looking forward to the Super Cup match. although it's so early in the season that maybe we won't show our best yet.

I'm not expecting an EPL title yet. those long competitions are better settled for teams that are already ready and ours isn't yet.

So I think we have better chances to go deeper in UCL - depending on the teams we end up drawing - than in EPL

Until we know who we have and what other teams have its incredibly hard to say.

ATM:

Top 2 in the league.

Semi's FA

Semi's League

Semi's CL.

Minimum would be top 3, but much closer points wise, a couple of quarters and a semi.

Yep. Absolute minimum is to challenge. Would like to win one of the cups, at least, though!

My expectations -

Top 2 in the Premier League.

Semi's of the Champions League.

Win the FA Cup.

Semi's of the League Cup.

Win the UEFA Super Cup.

With how Eden, Oscar and Mata performed this year next season they're only going to be better as individuals and as a trio. Jose at the helm, and if we bring in a consistent goal scorer to feed off the Mazcar trio's passes and crosses then there's no reason we can't hit my expectations.

weird seeing so many people crying and moaning... when before the start of the season, their expectations have already been met. if anything, we can simply better it in the CL.

reality check.

it's really disappointing to be so close to the title, and lose him is such stupid way..

but these defeats were bound to happen sometime or another. we could have won wba and whu EASILY had we had a decent striker. we should have had the everton (a) game sealed, done and dusted but we lost. against villa we had many half chances, only to be screwed over by foy. against sundeland, BA should have scored, or even etoo should ave scored.

against palace, we were toothless and one such performances is forgivable.

jose mourinho, even after beating city at etihad, put our title chances down cos he knew that the lack of a 20+ goals scoring striker would hurt us sooner rather than later.

it might be disappointing, but we are still in CL semis. but the aura around here is unbelievably negative.
