European adventures again next season 100%, probably Champions League via 5th.... absolutely giddy haha, we go again!!!

Where is this please @aussiemag?

If we get top 5/CL place think we can keep everyone in that 1st 11, and if any of the subs leave don't think it'll be an issue to find like for like replacements. Of course, it high likely won't go exactly as above, and if that's the case we should then have suitable budget to replace x, y and z, if we operate well in the market. Tough but certainly not impossible, and the main point is we are in a very good position to hopefully now press on to that next level.

Pretty exciting looking at the squad now, I think 2-3 years if we are shrewd in the transfer windows we can put together a title challenging team, end of August 2026 we could look like this: New GK Tino - 23 CB Botman - 26 Hall - 21 CDM Bruno - 28 Tonali - 26 RF Isak - 26 Gordon - 25 Pope - 34 RB CB LB Miley - 20 Joelinton - 30 Willock - 27 Barnes - 29 Striker Anyone people disagree with? Pope feels most questionable for me, but that's not going to be an issue anyways, then possibly next would be Joelinton. Of course big name could leave but if they do then it at least gives greater scope with budget to bring others in as well as a replacement.

Yeah same thought, he should've called him out for being disrespectful and told him to fuck off, in Portuguese!

Short as 7/2 with bookies, so would say your slightly under stating our chances

Nah, it's two legs still https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68082763

Come on, we can dream!

Was a good shout mate, unlucky

Odds would be close given they'd both heavily rotate and we likely go full strength

Yes please

Same

This is genuinely such an absurd opinion, no offence

One major concern I have with Eddie is his inability to address how susceptible we are to the counter attack. Since the Forest game on boxing day, when we got absolutely mauled, it's been an ever present issue, we concede far too many basic goals. You can't be a top team and keep leaking goals on a regular basis like we do. I don't expect many too agree, but I think Bruno is big part of this problem, our back 4 is exposed by those ahead of them far too often and Eddie's insistence on not wanting to play with an actual DM may well be his downfall here. I personally wouldn't even consider replacing him, he's a top manager no doubt, flawed sure, but no manager is perfect!
