I never had any expectations going into the Barca game or the final. We were there for the journey as fans and I don't recall us saying we were a great side last season when it was in progress..
You Chavs must be worried about us? Look at the facts. AVB out for revenge. Levy out for revenge. Us will a revamped, new-look squad. All the signs are there for you to remain in our shadow for yet another season.
You didn't play the sameway the entire tournament but under RDM you had less possession and a lot less shots in all of your last 5 games, Napoli at home being the only time you didn't and that was in a game where you couldn't afford to sit back. Not that I really care or want to get dragged into this
Unfortunately they have made a couple of potentially good investments. Hazard looks a good player, and Marin has a good reputation. The key is whether RDM can do what AVB couldn't and transition the older players out of the team (although even Lampard looked good at the end of last season).
