When the PL is all said and done, the worst PL finish in our history and a negative goal difference and half of our fans still want him around. Feel like I’m taking crazy pills sometimes.
i believe so.
Scotty's "ten Hag Time" comeback goals against Brentford who we were losing 1-0 to at home for most of the game.
10m loan fee
Must be why they finished on the same points as us.
They look like they’re capable of scoring every time they attack whereas they were stale under hodgson.
done really well turning them around so quickly
Ah… that’s it! To challenge for the league, we just need to have the lowest number of injuries!!! We should buy a bunch of Bruno’s who never get hurt, then we’d win the league. Priority #1: durable players.
Hard to believe that despite how crap this season has been that we've only finished 8 points behind Villa. Crazy really.
Maybe because people exaggerate how poor we are.
What about defensive injuries only?
Agree! We looked awesome in the first half v Brighton. He showed De Zerbi a masterclass. Playing with him with those two clearances off the line.
To be fair Villa and Spurs have been tripping over themselves to give that fourth spot up. Villa will rightly be buzzing but they've been shite for a good few weeks.
Ah give over, we have been poor. No matter what your opinion on the manager is, we have been poor, a blind man could see that.
Yep agreed. That 4th spot was there for taking.
Because this isn't a team devoid of quality, many have peddled this narrative to absolve the manager of his own influence but I think under the conditions with 4-5 or signings and a competent manager, this team could represent a level just below challenging but being among top four comfortably.
Yeah and they only conceded 4 more goals. But on the other hand they scored 28 more than us.
Post that next on your tenhagera account.
8th, -1 goal difference, bottom of an easy UCL group. What on earth is being exaggerated?!
The table doesn't lie.
I feel he’s been dealt a bad hand this season with injuries, but to be this bad on performances throughout the season is ridiculous. Was there any game this entire season where we look dominant for the full 90? In fact, I don’t think we have ever won by more than 3goal margin in any game under ETH.
Yep completely agree.
This is our worst league finish and GD total in 34 years (since 89/90 season) right?
Only because the other teams around us have been unbelievably poor aswell. Apart from the top 3 this season the rest have been very inconsistent. And I don't buy the injuries excuse, not completely anyway, if we'd not played so open this season we could have easily got that 4th spot despite the injuries.
You are not beating the exaggeration allegations with that.
True and it says that we have been pretty bad.
Yes
I agree but as ever in here, there is a fair amount of exaggeration going on.
Expectation in August: battling with Liverpool and Spurs for 3rd/4th
Expectation in December: battling with Spurs and Villa for 5th
Expectation in March: battling with Chelsea and Newcastle for 6th/7th
Reality: battling with West Ham for 8th.
Next season: battling with Palace and Brighton for top 10.

You think our 8th place is a point in his defence? Okay then.
Well, that should be easy enough.
