Top 4 is attainable but depends on a big upturn swing for us - & - others failing.
As for the CL
Absolutely no doubt we can win it..but we would have to improve significantly on where we have been since the back end of last season. Would have to find those goals for the big game.. that we failed to muster in 330 minutes of play across all 3 finals last term.
I see the draw as a massive bunk up for City….that we play Real and that PSG play Bayern.
2 big hitters gone after this round. Conte could spring a few surprises too and would be a tough one for us or Peps mercenaries to face over 2 legs. If Napoli continue their form, then that is one tough tie…
Considering we lost to Forrest and Leeds it looks fanciful to expect much from us, but post World Cup we could potentially have our defensive line back in shape. Nobody can tell me Virgil hasn’t been playing within himself this season. WC in his mind. It’s almost like the title defence back there. Gomez and Trent cannot continue as one half, even IF Virgil gets back to his best.
If Matip/Konate can partner Virgil - Trent can find his form, we keep Thiago fit (crucial) AND get Diaz and Jota back.. lots of ifs - then yes - we have a good chance I would say.
Let’s not think too much about Neymar - Messi & Mbappe working into that channel where Trent and Joe do their worst… not just yet….
