Finishing top 2 will be great but I don't see that happening, when you look at the qualities gone and the incomings to replace them are not all that. Xabi Alonso had six months before his debut season, so he had all the failings and ideas he needed to infuse into his project and team. Increasing expectations is nice, but they should have a set goal at the end of the season. I don't know of I'd want to say that patience talks again.

Next season's Bundesliga will still be Bayern Munich's, a team that will continue to dominate every match. As for second through the top four, I think I'll only see teams like Dortmund and others competing. However, I don't think Leverkusen will be in that position, considering, as you said, the quality of the players has changed, and Leverkusen will no longer be coached by Alonso like last season. So, Leverkusen fans shouldn't have high hopes for Leverkusen's final results next season.

While Erik Ten Hag is ready for a new challenge, I don't think he'll be able to replicate the Xabi effect. If his Manchester United career had been filled with success, I'd think otherwise, but his Manchester United career was abysmal. Despite signing the players he wanted, the team steadily declined. To this day, Amorim still hasn't been able to turn the team around. That's why I'm not very hopeful for Leverkusen this year.
