The league over the CL final any day. If you're asking if I'd take the league over the CL then this season yes, next season no. We're established in the league and winning the title this season would make it 3 in 5 seasons. Then I'd be happy to finish second or third and win the CL.
The whole dissection of the CL performances is bollocks. We've beaten Bayern, shown true fight and quality to beat them and then beat Roma, in Rome to qualify for the knockouts and gave Barca a better go of it than any other side managed in Europe. We just don't win ugly when we need to. Sometimes the emphasis on attacking gifts opposition chances. We need to grow in confidence and show a better ability to see games out. Head to head record counts more than goal difference initially so we should be looking to settle if we're 1-0 up and play on the counter as most teams would.
