That's why I've set a points target, if we can consistantly hit around 85pts sooner or later we will win the league.To win the league, we have to make up 24 points on ManC......
Seriously, hands up who actually thinks we can do that?
Lamela is extremely driven. Hopefully Lucas is too. Having them both in the dressing room is already going to freshen things a bit.
The question is - do you need to have experienced winning silverware to be able to do so? What had Leicester's individuals won before they won the league?

As you seem so sure, I'll give you 10-1
oh look Rich responded to a post about Lamela
This wasn't about return. It was about locker room presence of driven individuals.
we're 20-1 with some bookies lol
I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that we'll win the league. We've had stretches of real consistency - but whilst I think we're capable of extending that, we'd also need City to have a couple more crises. KDB injury is a good start but still think they'd finish on 90+ points at present and I'd be surprised if we do.

Yeah, 24pts on their finish LAST SEASON, which isn't this one anymore btw.
Most Prem home wins 18
Most Prem away wins 16
Most consecutive Prem wins 18
Most consecutive Prem away wins 11
Most Prem goals in a season 106
Best Prem goal diff in a season +79
Most pts in a Prem season 100
So, to answer your question, who thinks they can better Citeh from last season? Nobody. Because that was an All Time Record Breaking season, the likes of which not to be seen again. Then the question begs, can CITEH do that again? No. No they can't. It was a season for the ages.
If they DO do that all again, well then they deserve to be called one of the greatest of all time. But it is soooooo unlikely, and history will be a better judge of what'll happen this year. And that says we have every chance to challenge for the Prem title, if we get our pts total up around 90ish. Which I beleive is very doable.
Will we challenge for all those records Citeh set last season? Nope. But it doesn't matter because no one will, and at the end, we will be there battling it out in the final days.
Citeh will finish 3rd.

RD,
delivered what?
IMHO we have absolutely no hope of winning the league or the CL - so what are you expecting?

Like you, I can see a Cup win - unless Poch is forced to prioritize the PL again...
But beyond that I think it's football fantasy to believe we can close the gap and overtake ManCity : just how many points did they win the Premier League by - and they've strengthened further, whereas we .....
As for the Champions league, we'd have to have a very lucky draw and at some stage have to beat the likes of Barca, Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG, Bayern and so on and so on - none of them are easy/walk overs as some imply when they talk about us winning the CL...
I'd love to believe one or either is a real possibility - but I think as of now, Real Deal has been on some waccy baccy or something similar to believe we can....
Despite all the discussion. I did say we've got a shout if we can stay in touch with City. And I think we have as good a chance as any.
Especially when I saw us transition, in game, from 3 at the back to 4 at the back so seamlessly. It was a thing of beauty.
We won't win anything major.
But our manager and best player are getting a tad annoyed with not winning anything.
I would take a cup, any cup and a 4th placed spot right now.
