Over confidence isn't an argument as SAF would not allow it but complacency is a different thing. Pre-season faces being on also should not be an argument as we've played enough competitive games in the last 2 weeks to have been able to beat a below average team. Injuries - thats down to squad depth again, or lack of it.
We'll still progress but no-one is certainly going to fear us and we could be in for a hell of a 1st group stage. If I was an opposing manager I'd attack, all out attack, you might get caught on the break but your certainly going to get chances against us

That Seba bought for adding new spark is already a mistake from the beginning. I won't be surprised if he can improve and played much better than last season, but still he won't add any new thing to our team, because we already have players who can do nearly everything he did (may be except some backheel and little tricks which usually have zero effect). If we really need new spark we should sign someone who can beat opponents and unlock defence, such as Duff, Di Canio, etc.
