If we got into the CL we’d be a threat under him, I know people will laugh but honestly almost every team from the top leagues in Europe who qualify fairly regularly have made a semi or a final at some point. Even Spurs the biggest bottlers in the world made one. You look at the state of some of the groups and I’d back us to get out a group easily if we made it in. Once in the knockout who is better in this comp than Carlo? No one.
It's a great time for us to be on the up
Arsenal, Chelsea & Spurs are rebuilding at different points in their development. LFC / MCFC are ahead, but vulnerable because of so many fixtures and the high standards they've had for so many years. ... we've got a chance - but Leicester & West Ham are annoyingly in the way as well. Its competitive and exciting and a big chance for us. I do hope we have some context and balance when we eventually make CL qualification. Think of where we are now, and supposing we qualify for the CL 2-3 times in 5 years, that is a massive improvement. We've qualified once only. So if we qualify 3 times in the next 5 years, and then we only make it out of our group once or twice, I hope we don't turn around and sack Ancelotti. Regular qualification will be a big step, and then that squad needs to try and fail in the CL before they start getting to semis & finals. Can't get too carried away again, but there are fewer power houses in CL now than there used to be 10 years ago. The last 16 was full of big blockbuster teams. I Agree with you because now the last 16 if we ever make it, will have 4-5 powerful clubs and the rest maybe in transition. May as well dream!
