Player improvement

This year Poch and his team have worked wonders and improved players massively, hence why I think he is the post coach in the league.

We've seen Walker get back to his best. Vertonghen looking like the player we saw in his first season. Rose and Davies push on and be an integral part of our back 4.

Dier has been remodelled as a DM and looks class. Eriksen has looked a class act. Lamela on a completely different level.

And Harry proving he isn't a one season wonder.

So who next season will we see these types of jump in ability?

Will Trippier step up his defensive side of the game? Will Bentaleb, Mason, Carroll kick on to the next level? Will Son settle and become a world beater?

Will any of the academy lads (McGee, CCV, KWP, ball, winks, onomah, Pritchard, Harrison really step up and claim a shirt?

Have big hopes for Pritchard, looked on a completely different level at Brent Ford last season, and it's such a shame that he got injured so badly as I'm sure Onomahs current place in the squad was meant for Pritch originally. Also N'Jie with his absolutely blistering pace could be a fantastic asset.

I'm hopeful Son and Njie, one year settled, and with a full Pochettino preseason behind them, will really kick on to demonstrate the pace, dynamism and incisive play that their highlight videos on YouTube show they are capable of.
Add to that, if Bentaleb could be moulded into Dier's understudy, capable of sitting back into defence as the fullbacks push on, fantastic.
Beyond that, love to see Poch help Carter-Vickers step up as RCB cover option, Ball as a Dier understudy, Winks as an all round CM, Onomah start to dictate in AM, Pritchard kick on as a creative AM, and Oduwa give us the incision that Townsend showed glimpses of but more reliably.

I feel the whole squad will get even better next season however teams that failed spectacularly will be forced to spend obscenes amount of money meaning the competition will be greater.

If we make small tweaks and not massive overhauls we'll be well placed to have another encouraging season.
