To a degree but he has also said we should be top 10 PL. I stick by what I have said since we were moaning about no striker in CH/GP days: TB cannot rely on in staying one step ahead in the transfer market. At some point that will go wrong a la Southampton as Martin Samuel argued last week in...
Only top 10 by virtue of good start. Last 22 games 24 points, back to CH and GP days.
May finish bottom half. Watford nearly got relegated in a season when they won 4/5 at start and did get relegated following season.
Halfway in PL injury list. Liverpool have far more and done very well...
Well, you sort of have it. 24 points from last 22 PL games and KO’d from both domestic cups has Hughton/Potter pre Caicedo all over it. Four good results in EL are papering over the cracks of a season that otherwise has regressed.
Injuries are a reason but we are halfway in the PL injury league...
