I think the league on it's own would be a failure from the perspective of February 2018. We'd have all taken it last August.
The FA Cup defeat is a great demonstration of failure: More than 80% possession and hardly forcing a decent save from the Wigan keeper.
The League Cup will be failure if we balls up on Sunday simply because we are so much better than Arsenal most of the time. We are 27 points ahead of them after 27 games and they are often in disarray. But they were pretty much in disarray last year when we failed to beat them in the semi or at t'Emirates in the space of a few weeks. Please roll out the blind linesman excuse.
The CL is a different matter and losing to several of the remaining teams can hardly be classed as failure. However I wouldn't be too happy if we went out to Sevilla.
