Accuracy of the ball isn't much to shout about. But the strength of the pass is commenable.
EL qual would be dissapointing.
CL qual would be Good.
1 cup and EL qual would be Great.
1 cup and CL qual would be Fantatsic.
2 cups and CL qual would be Unbelievable... and won't happen.
*Title is a pipe-dream...
You get CL qualification winning the Europa still?
Yes, Jose did it with Man Utd.
And placed in Pot 1 which makes it easier to qualify from the group stage.
We're favourites for the EL and no reason why we can't win the LC so that's very much on the cards for me.
Beginning to suspect league performance will be poor though, 6th/7th. Will take that though
Yes
Ask the bookies
Because the bookies think they can make the most money by having us as favorites.
Likely a combination of us being a "big club" (For Europa anyways), not having won anything lately so fans are excited about us in the competition and more hopeful, having Jose so people run with the "serial winner" nonsense and always helped with us being an English club.
Being the bookies favorite doesn't mean much though as they don't create their lines based on most likely to win but most likely to bring in the most money.
I can't see any reasonable argument that would have us above United, Leicester and maybe Napoli and Milan.
Moreso because at the end of the group stage we were sitting at the top of the strongest league in Europe - had a mean defense, two of the best performing attackers in the world and a manager known for winning trophies where ever he goes.
I would guess partly due to our last 32 draw being so easy.
We should be seen to already be in the last 16.
That's fair, I suppose.
We haven't won anything in forever, tho.
Would expect that have factored more.
I shouldn't say this because it will definitely come back to haunt me, but I'd say we are favorites in every cup competition we're in this season.
The FA Cup is the most difficult one to predict - in the end it's more about luck than anything else. But in relation to the League Cup and the Europa League, I think we'll be well prepared for any match. Cup games are not regular games. For example, I'd be feeling confident facing Leicester in a EL two-legged tie. I wasn't feeling confident at all on Sunday.
That said, the schedule and our players conditions will have a big say in all this. God save Hojbjerg, Son and Kane.
I admire your confidence.
That's because every single player ever has done something useful and productive. Doesn't mean they cant still be bang average footballers.
