From three games changes I’ve noticed more obvious today to me probably as expected with more time.

1. Forwards getting into areas where they can score goals, rarely seeing the 9 out wide or dropping deep seems to be in the right areas.

2. Mix it up, noticing the players aren’t just playing the same pass in the same scenarios, sometimes they are passing square, other times travelling with the ball or picking a different pass over the top.

3.When we are taking corners our players in defensive positions waiting for a clearance seem more organised. Noticed three on the edge of the box with one on half way works better than Silva’s open to a counter approach.

interesting times.

Why not?

We have to chase Palace, Wolves, Sheffield bloody United, An Arsenal, United and Chelsea team with YTS managers and a Spurs side that only knows how to lose.

It wont be as easy as ive just made it seem, but we aint playing catch up with any good teams here.
Kane done his hamstring so that’s a few weeks out for him. Utd are hot and cold, sheff Utd and Palace will run out of steam, Wolves could carry on but they are still in Europe and played ALOT of games so that could catch up to them.

All we can do is focus on us and win games

We can catch Palace and Sheffield United. Finishing above the others would require a level of consistency we haven't seen in a long time. The next 5 games set the tone. If we get something like 10 or 11 points from them we'll be in the mix.
 

Some of Carlo Ancelotti's buys:

Bale
Ronaldo (Bra)
James Rodriguez
Fernando Torres
Thiago Silva
L Moura
R Sanches
Hummels
Nesta
Lavezzi
Isco
Gilardino
D Luiz
Kroos
Ronaldinho
Pato
Trezeguet
Ramires
Zlatan
Motta
Zambrotta
Matic
Crespo
Simic
Thuram
Rivaldo
Van Der Sar
Chiesa

Some of those were not big fees & unknown players at the time. Crespo was £4m from River Plate after only one season and a bit as a 21-year old & Matic was £1.5m. Thuram and Van Der Sar were free transfers. Chiesa £700k. Exciting!!! He brought Kaka to Europe for £7M. I am really excited to see who he buys in the next transfer window.
