Thing is, i dont think it's Black & White like that.
You added a striker that scored 36 league goals for you, but as a team you scored 5 fewer goals than last year.
We took out Auba & Lacazette, added an 11 goal striker in Jesus, and scored an extra 27 goals compared to last year.
As much as i say that, i do agree with you that Jesus misses too many chances. I still want my striker to be more clinical when he's through on goal. Only problem is, there's a lack of really good number 9's about!
You were saving energy being out of the cups while we had to save energy in the league by dropping into second gear once we got ahead we saw out games while saving energy.
Having played so well over the course of the season it must be deflating to end the season without silverware having tossed the cup completions off.
