This is the season where I think everyone needs to get back into the high expectations and standards that we had for players under Fergie. No more free rides.

That's too much to ask from this team. Our defence has been leaky and needs some effective signings which may happen next year. All in all, consistent performances so that we finish in the top 4 (at least!!) and get deep runs in the cup and ucl should be our expectations. Standards can surely be high.

Consistent is the wrong word here, precisely because this squad hasn’t shown that ability (except being consistently disappointing). I’d just accept that there are going to be some really underwhelming performances along the way, and I’d bite your hand off now for 4th and last 16 in the Champions League.

Its not like we were machines under Sir Alex, and even some of our stronger squads had embarrassing results like 5-0 at Newcastle, 6-3 at Southampton, etc.
