Funnily enough, less confident

Last time we went up I thought that that team was one of the best City teams I'd ever seen and Pukki was in absolutely red hot form.

I genuinely thought we'd be mid table.

Then all our CBs got crocked and Pukki did his toe and turned to s**t and we were terrible.

This time, we've sold Emi (who was our only obviously Premier-ready player), Pukki's been indifferent in the Champs never mind the Prem, we haven't strengthened the defence from the Champs side (yes I know that we strengthened it FOR the Champs but that isn't the same), we don't have a CDM, pre season has been disrupted by COVID and we've got a whole load of new bods who might be great, might be Rickys and haven't had any time to bed in.

So. Less optimistic.
