He didn't say this season though did he?
League and cup double, record goals scored and points won season.
All those players had incredible seasons.
I remember it well, pity some have forgotten it so quickly.
That was then , this is now.
Liverpool remember how SG slip and their panic attack cost them a title in MP's first year after we mucked up again at their place and their manager is long gone.
The side is aging , the spine is almost a thing of the past and the game as many players will tell you passes you by quickly.
I agree with you that our turgid , uninspiring football we have played in the main this year is not all MP's fault and I admit I enjoyed the football in his first year for the most part but it has been downhill ever since.
Sterling and KDB aand Delph all had premier league experience before joining us and for a couple of reasons we haven't seen anywhere near the best of them yet at least I hope that is the case.
Pep is no messiah , a number of players are on borrowed time but I expect a different attitude , a long overdue injection of youth and players who handle the pace and physicality of the league better than what we currently have.
Flexibility from corners , better defending from set pieces , a midfield that closes down the opposition , urgency throughout the game until its done and dusted , improved skills are just the start of what we want , what we need , what the owners and supporters deserve and a return to the feel good factor where home is a fortress and teams are scared shitless to come here.
Did you watch and listen to Leicester players as they came out for the second half last Saturday.
How easy is this is what they were saying as they laughed amongst themselves.
This is what happens under a manager like MP and the players are used to it now.
The owners won't expect that to happen in the next three years at least and we know at least one man who won't tolerate it unlike the current manager who has been on easy street for two season now as have the playing group partly as a result.
