This season has been dross, truly, but if we win our game in hand we're 4th. Top 4 has to be the standard to which Conte is judged, because the squad is certainly capable of it. The reason we hired such an accomplished manager is to raise the level of the squad.
The real issue is we, and the rest of the league, are well behind the title contending top 3. Closing that gap has to be the focus in the summer, but for this season we should absolutely be looking for 4th. 5th is the minimum acceptable spot, though a disappointment, if we're running United close. 6th is a failure. Anything less and we might as well kept Nuno around and saved the buyout money.
