Maybe Broja could be a surprise package. Hopefully 

Broja playing for development squad today and not tomorrow it's clear he is not in plans for next season.

How can you compare Lampard and Tuchel domestically if we get , for instance, bad results in the first 10 games because our attacking players needed time to improve drastically and hit the ground running.

Seriously, United will be better this season compared to  the last, Sancho, Varane will improve them. Sancho maybe won't be scoring for fun, but for sure he will have somebody to assist to.

Liverpool will be better than they were previous season, everybody and his dog understand this. They were very unlucky, but just look at their last results in the League.

City is City. They certainly won't be worst.

Leicester improved their team and so did Arsenal. Everybody improved. It won't be the same league as it was the year before. 

Meanwhile Tuchel's main striker is goals disallowed champion who doesn't understand offside rule and can't hit the net to save his life,  still our most productive player (in creating goal opportunities and assisting).

Broja, our genie in the boottle scored 10 goals in poor Dutch league and missed a lot more clear chances.

Sorry, Lampard had better situation domestically.

I predict the fourth place on the very last day followed by major bottling job from Leicester and Arsenal. 

Maybe a cup or two but I'm not too confident against Villarreal.

Get a quality CF and see how my mood would change. Until then, being positive with these current crop of players who keep firing blanks at goal is extremely difficult. It's 38 games of that.

Don't act as if this is the only time you've been negative. You have been negative on some many times in the past on so many things.

This is not true you don't even know me that well, but even if that IS true - I have every right to comment that we would not do well especially with what's happening in the transfer market. Last season even though we had did well in the transfer market, I never rated Lampard to take us forward with that squad. And I swear on my life, if we didn't sack Lampard we wouldn't have gotten top 4 AND lost out on the CL.

You mention you don't rate Lampard but for all his faults he achieved top four with Kepa, Zouma, Alonso/Emerson, Willian and Tammy/Giroud.

Tuchel has clear upgrades on all of them plus better versions of Kante and Mount and you think he's not even going to manage what Lampard did with his full season.

Am talking about your previous reply.

Reserving expectations until the window closes.I still believe we will have at least 2 new additions by then.

I do.expect growth from majority of our younger and/or newer players and Tuchel to use better tactics against "park the bus" teams.

Mana definitely did not vote on this pole...
