The League Cup has been a joke for along time. But that did not mean I wanted us to crash out as we did. Hopefully we will take the FA Cup more seriously?
However, the Premier League is the bread and butter. Performance here is what counts and Everton will be a real indication of how we are developing. I am not concerned about defence being a priority. Lots of successful clubs build from the back and I would be (and am) proud of clean sheets and a reputation for being hard to beat.
Goals up front will come. We only need one per game if we don't let any in. But I suspect that we will start scoring more. My fiver this week goes on Rondon being the first to score and when he gets it, I suspect more will follow.
Mid table this season is realistic and as a long time suffering of relegation battles I will wallow in the pleasure of mid table for a few years at least.
