StanSP Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 Quote No matter whether some believe the Foxes’ title triumph two seasons’ ago was a fluke, Craig Shakespeare is working with a squad that can still taste success. Of course, dreams of the Premier League trophy remain, but realistically, the club should be aiming to make a return to Europe. Leicester did England’s top flight proud in the Champions League last term, going further in the competition than Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City, and left with their heads held high in the quarter-final having put up an excellent fight against Atletico Madrid. Shakespeare and his team should be targeting a spot in the Europa League, with managers starting to appreciate the competition more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dormelcfc Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 Europa League has to be the aim 100%. Some more clever additions and it should be achieveable whether it is via the league or the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why loads think the title win was a fluke. The person that wrote it is not saying they think it was. But they are swear of the fact lots of other fans think it was a fluke.

urban.spaceman Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 European football has always been the big aim of the Thais, but the title win took them by surprise as much as anybody. We were phenomenal in the Champions League, it's just competing in that and the PL was difficult and couldn't have been prepared for overnight. Qualify for the Europa League and steadily get the squad, management and club used to the demands, and then we can kick on on both fronts. We have such a bright future, something that was scarcely plausible not so long ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 I do agree on the one hand but on the other I've always felt the aim of every manager should simply be to win every match. It's a cliche but 'taking each game as it comes' does have some meaning in the sense that all we should be asking is a team that tries it's hardest to score goals and win matches every single time. I think if you do that you will end up having a good season. I don't like players and managers setting targets because it can affect the mentality - if you're doing better than you expected you can take your foot off the gas and if you underachieve for while you may get disheartened.

Wolfox Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 Europa league should be our 'stretch' target (I work for an American firm!) top ten and mixing it with top 7 should be the aim with a good transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 16 June 2017 Share Posted 16 June 2017 The only thing we can predict with certainty with our club is we cannot predict what will happen. We spent most of 14/15 rock bottom followed by championship winning form out of nowhere. The we won the bloomin league and last year we didn't spend one minute in the top half of the table. Anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 17 June 2017 Share Posted 17 June 2017 before setting targets we need to see how the team starts off and see where we are around the Christmas period and then we can set targets of where we want to be. let's not kid ourselves it is going to be a tough season with a number of clubs chasing the same goals and we need to keep a pace with them and not fall behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a whole world of players while Gylfi would be buzzing, if we miss out what's to say we won't get someone nobody has heard of ala Kante, an push on I honestly believe we could finish anywhere between 6th-16th next season an nobody can say clearly until the end of the transfer window.

DatfoxesKid23 Posted 17 June 2017 Share Posted 17 June 2017 I think with our current squad we could go 7th or 12th dependent on if we dedicate our first team to the efl or fa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
