Blimey, this mindset is completely based off the last few weeks, not the entire season at all.So ahead of the reunion I heard an interesting debate as to who has had the better season and who has the more reason to be optimistic going in to next season, spurs or Chelsea?
Chelsea got to a cup final and a semi final but their league position is terrible but the context is that they have had a fair few games where their XG was way higher than the team that they lost to, they’ve also had horrendous injuries pretty much all season. For spurs we had a near perfect start to the season but since then our form is mid table at best and the goals against column is shockingly bad. We’ve obviously had our fair share of injuries too but can’t really think of any game that we’ve lost and come away thinking wow we should have won that.
for me with all things considered I’d say that Chelsea have more reason to be optimistic going in to next season and I think in a couple of years time we’ll be lamenting Levy’s decision to overlook Poch in favour of Ange.
At the beginning of the season, most on here thought 6th would be a good season, with many predicting us to finish 8th.
With losing Kane, many opposition fans thought we'd struggle to finish top half.
But you seem to think that losing our best player, implementing a new style with half a new squad and still looking to finish 5th is worse than Chelsea?
Chelsea have spent an absolute fortune, very likely hamstringing themselves for a while in the market and apart from a recent upturn in form, have been terrible all season.
I know that love is blind but I thought the final embers of love for Poch had all but burnt out by now, yet here you are, still lamenting that we didn't get him back?!
I didn't want him back in the first place, because I've seen nothing since he left all those years ago to change my mind.
