Those kinds of comments are swerving responsibility.
Getting champions league football vs not getting champions is huge.
It's all well and good saying you're not happy just getting 4th if you're actually challenging for titles and trophies.
But we're not and we're not even in the top 4 or guaranteed of it. So it's a bit sad making those statements and getting praised for it.
We should aim to win the title, and if we fail, still finish in the top 4.
Not sit between 5th and mid table and try to claim that aiming for just 4th isn't an achievement.
Ask Villa, Newcastle West Ham or Brighton if they'd feel that 4th wasn't an achievement.
