I think the squad is collectively capable of doing better than last year. Last year was such a universal underachiever season.
But last season was mostly two halves: consistently performing well against lesser opponents, and falling on our faces against Rome and Milan teams. I would trade some let downs against mid- and lower-table teams for more victories in big games... particularly given the CL implications of that.
But I think Milan and even Inter are going to be tough as nails this season. I am seeing us finish third again in Serie A unless the situation changes significantly.
