Yeah i would agree with that, I've seen plenty of diabolical seasons since 1970.

We would have romped it next season, after a "Crisis" year.
Our Squad needed tweaking, nothing more, a few under achievers shipped out. The spine of the team, Hart Zabaleta Kompany Toure Silva and Aguero, as strong as any other team out there.
