The league was so poor this year and yet with all of the cash we've spend, we end up on par with West Ham and Southampton.
And for how poor we've been, for inconsistent we've been, for how impotent our attack has been, CL qualification essentially came down to the poor in-game work LVG has done. The 3-0 smashing by Arsenal and Spurs where he sat on his rump and did nothing while we were getting blown off the pitch. His insistence on playing two holders even against relegation fodder. The idiotic substitutions he made that cost us points. The West Brom defeat particularly stands out for me.
There is nothing that will ever convince me that he is a good manager. He is an absolute plank who was blessed with top-level players that could overcome his effect on teams we're seeing now. Will be sickened watching him lead us out next week.
