The season was four games too long...

A season quite similar to the one of Sunderland IRL. Promoted, doing above expectation, dancing with the European places for a while, then a drop in form towards the end of the season, which takes them back to a position that is still arguably better than the one everyone expected.

The way I see it, you are still in a building phase, and entering the next season without European football can truly be a blessing in disguise.

Tough stretch to finish out the year. Really reminiscent of Sunderland as Justin said. Still an incredible year all in though

The pressure of Europe hit hard there

Pretty much and we had some unexpectedly tough opponents down the stretch.

Yeah I don't think this side is ready to cope with those demands yet. We'll need three centerbacks for example and I should probably move on from Mario Lemina, who is considering retirement, as the team's best holding mid.

We'll take it for sure. Never flirted with relegation, finished above mid-table. Can't complain.

That and I think we just kinda regressed toward the mean when other teams started to get out of fixture congestion hell.

In the CL final, but sacked Slot? Such a Spurs move by Liverpool there.

What is the plan with Ago? Loan him once he turns 16 or give him a shot next season in some cups and see what he can do?
