What are you? YES for optimistic and NO for negative, please.
I'm quite optimistic, personally - that will come as a surprise to 8ers
Too many (everywhere, media, not just here) asking if will have second season syndrome but none asking if he can improve.
Improvement through experience from young team.
Genuine alternatives in places we had none last season - like, for instance, Pritchard can come in for Eriksen, where last season we had no real like-for-like alternative.
Defence added to and will hopefully improve.
A genuine full-back on the right this season - and in Trippier we have one noted for his end product which should benefit Kane.
Pochettino in his second year.
Additions up front undoubtedly to come - okay, you can optimistic rate me for this one
Exciting youth products breaking through.
Our rivals have strengthened, true. But we have all seen how deceptive that can be - and not just with ourselves. So the question to my mind is will we improve enough/as well as our rivals. Personally, I would hope that 5th is again attainable and maybe/hopefully a trophy.
And please, people, lets not descend into abuse of anyone who holds the opposite viewpoint. I respect anyone with a negative opinion, just so long as they respect my right to hold a positive one, and I will consider their arguments and just as that they repay the favour
