Nah. It's just that a few of our rivals have continued to underachieve. If you want to say that they're genuinely shit and we finished about where we deserved, I'm ok with that.
But Chelsea and United both continuing to struggle isn't something I would have banked on I August, although long may...
Szobo started becoming shit before the injury. He was clearly overworked which I'm sure factored into getting injured, too. He stopped being able to trap a ball or pass it five yards. Since returning he hasn't looked much better.
Looked amazing at the start of the year. We need him to get back...
I think we've been a fundamentally flawed team all season and the results and heroics papered over it. The stats told a different story and I eventually began to concede that maybe what I saw each week wasn't reality.
And then all our debts from the first half of the season came due and it's...
He's clearly done for this year in terms of being an effective option. He could come back rejuvenated for next year, albeit never reaching again his peak powers.
I'm still of the mind that he can write his own ticket. If he wants to go, let's sell. If he wants to stay, keep but in a diminished...

Retreads like Mourinho and Conte would be disasters. Tuchel blows things up everywhere. Xavi would be a risk.
So, it's that next generation of managers...
Tbf I was in both camps. Have always loved him but was willing to sell if the money were right.
Much like Sturridge, I've just gotta think that our medical team can melt down one of our healthy, shit players for parts though and rebuild Jota.
I don't know if he'll save us millions in terms of playing for us next season. But he's definitely a saleable asset.
Probably depends a lot on who manages us. Don't Mainz play with a back 3? He could be in with a shout then.
