People are struggling with this.
For me the really pertinent question is why are we not good enough? Why could Leicester have that collective season of a lifetime? Why were Chelsea able to find that certain something. City we can accept because they had all the tools. But Liverpool this season?
I mean player for player, would we really say they are that much better, if at all? Leicester had who (Vardy and Mahrez but 2 they are 2 players), Chelsea and Liverpool had and have bought who? Liverpool's front 3 yes and Van Dijk of course and Chelsea got a brilliant season from Hazard (what's new) and Luiz/Kante but any central defender been better than Vertonghen has been in that time? Any striker really been better than Kane over the last 4 seasons? Has anyone strode way above Eriksen?
So it's really hard to put a finger on it. Really hard to know what more could be done or if it is just buying players that makes the difference, because it seems too simplistic to this writer although important without doubt.
We are a strange strange club but you finish 3rd (when 2nd was ours, 2nd, 3rd and sitting 3rd again, but with different winners and you think why are we not bridging the gap and how is it that other teams jump so far ahead in 3 or 4 months?
Really conceptually quite a challenge in my mind.
Losing to Wolves was a by product.
