Como is not a very strong team and they are not strong enough to compete with the big teams. It will be enough for them to perform well against their peers and continue to try to win against the big teams. Still, I think the expected place for them is in the top 10. If they can make it to the top 10, then I think they are on the way to improvement. If they can even beat a big team, the season can be considered successful for them.
If you're meaning to be within the ranks of the big teams I would agree but if it's among their peers they can be counted as one of the strong and am confident they can create a more better performance this season using their experience of last season. if they can draw most of their matches with the big teams and win the games against their peers thwn Como can likely finish within the top 10.
Como should not be praised more than deserved, it is only just getting up, and your condition is valid with me for them to deserve the praise.
With the performance of last season, if they can improve on it, then the club is possibly getting somewhere. Unfortunately, it is not always consistent with clubs whose ovation becomes suddenly loud, especially when they are just pulled out of relegation to finish the season at a reasonable rank. Como undoubtedly did well last season by being in the 5th position, but I believe this season will judge them further on what they truly are.
