We finished 4th, knocked rags into 5th on GD if I recall this was one of the games that didnt take place on the day at OT due to training device being left in stadium. As we played at specified time and had qualified for CL, I believe many fans didnt bother with the rearranged game. Not sure where Liverpool finished (but we beat them on pens in LC Final) but Leicester were champs and Ihenacho had looked promising for us.

Liverpool finished eighth that season.
They lost the Europa League final to Sevilla after being ahead at half time. Winning that game would have put them in the following season’s CL but they ended up missing out on Europe altogether.

Great first season. He is the only non British/European to ever win the league. Which is an achievement in itself. It was the next two seasons that formed my opinion of him, and was glad when he left.

Great piece of knowledge !
Will be asking all mates who support our rivals, this question...

Remember a spell on here when posts calling him a corpse were being brought down left right and centre.

One post called him a ‘stoned **** corpse’ which did make chuckle. Lasted about three minutes before it was removed.

Sounds like the makings of a good death metal band.
 
Leicester away was worse, the Liverpool game was the odd mistake and Sagna off the pace, the Leicester opening was a whole team incompetent performance, staring Stones and Bravo.

The Foxes were struggling and Vardy hadn't cored for 10, games, 3-0 down after 20 mins and Vardy would complete a hattrick with a Stones assist before City started playing in the last 10 minutes.

The Everton away 4-0 City weren't that bad and dominated until Everton's first attempt which Bravo waved in, and a decent 'keeper may have saved 3 of them. All the Bravo fans wouldn't admit it, but the way he turned his head away from the ball hitting him for the 3-0 showed he was just on a pension boost and had to be replaced.

Those games were the season after, when Pep was manager. Stones and Bravo were both signed in the summer of 2016.

Probably one of the worst first halves defensively I've seen in a decade.

It's not been too bad since then.

Hells teeth I remember that game very clearly. It was a shower, and the fact we managed to score was amazing. I wouldn't mind but the Dips weren't that good then- think it was just the start of the Klopp era.

Nightmare. Still we beat them in the League Cup final 3 months later so there was some salvation of respect!

Fair enough. I was replying to him “not having a clue “ etc. I’m currently on train back from Newcastle so tad miffed.
 
This game was played only a few days after the Paris attack. My sister in law came to the game and got lost and she ended up in the tunnel area. When she got to her seat after about 20 minutes she was all giddy about the fact she got so close to the players. And this just days after a terrorist attack
