It crossed my mind the other day that we found ourselves mathematically incapable of finishing behind Liverpool... what... 3 or 4 matches ago?
A little bit depressing. Aside from the Rodgers and Suarez year, we've consistently been better.
The good thing however is that despite losing ground on Liverpool this year we a) still have our nucleus of players together that finished above them so frequently b) are now back in N17 & c) still have the money from last window, whatever that was to invest further. In theory we have double available because we chose not to spend on an over inflated price or a player deemed not quite right for progression.
We're in a good place to hopefully keep incrementally growing. With astute signings we have the foundations to grow. Getting top 4 with no investment last summer really will be a huge plus for us this year & I honestly believe we are a win and a draw from achieving that which is fantastic for us to continue moving forward.
