What a weird season.
22 game unbeaten streak in the league...finished 6th
Lost fewer games at home than Chelsea...won fewer games at home than Burnley
Struggled beating teams like Anderlecht and Celta Vigo in the EL...won the EL
And that, my friends, is ultimately what made this season tolerable. Jose put all his eggs in the EL basket and it paid off.
But that isn't a long term solution and everyone knows that. Can we actually challenge the top teams in England? Are we going to get bounced in the group stage of the CL and fall back into next year's EL? Will we bring in any new players to help make sure the answers to those questions are "yes" and "no" respectively?
