Entering February.

[dicko1969]

Just thought it would be nice to remind ourselves of a few things -

- In the League Cup Final
- Favourable draw in the FA Cup
- Door is ajar in a difficult (but not impossible) title challenge and
- We're through to the knockout stages of the Champion's League against opposition we feel we are favourites to beat.

In the bigger picture - largely settled squad, talented players, World Class manager, some youth graduates/prospects coming through to compliment the squad, stadium updates promising.

Still need work in some areas - need at least one midfielder to refresh things, another forward would be nice, resolve Salah situation etc - but we're in a position that is the envy of about 95% of World Football - which is definitely a lot nicer than being out of the title race by the end of October, fluffing the Cups early on and being in the Europa League - or indeed further down the table.

Oh and not to mention, crowds in stadiums again - meaning that if we do win anything, more folks will get to enjoy it.

I'll definitely take it. Amazing what one little nugget of hope can do isn't it - whether it's buying their players or doing us a favour against Man City - thanks Southampton

If we could have a nice little run of winning games after the international break that would be lovely. I know not everything is perfect in the Garden (never is!) but it's good to look out the window and smell a pretty healthy situation, even if we'd like a Cherry Blossom and some more Daffodils to top it off.

The season is a success
Everyone back from injuries too.
Next 2 and a half months huge.
Trophies or no trophy....

So - our CL squad is now looking very potent indeed.

Luis Diaz replaces the on loan Nat Phillips.

With the return of Elliott so quickly a huge added bonus.

Yes - the Champion's League squad looks great.

24 on it rather than 25 due to Homegrown issues.

However, List B can have an unlimited source of players - that's for those under the age of 21 with at least two years’ training with the club - can also be confirmed the Midnight before any game.

So, if needed, Curtis Jones, Conor Bradley or Tyler Morton for example could be used. Though no Kaide Gordon as he hasn't been here long enough yet.

We're getting there!
