I was confident ... before we had season ending injuries to 2 of our outstanding younguns plus Vardy needing a hernia op ... Maddison's hip and losing Jonny Evans at a crucial stage and then Fofana yesterday at a time where we were on top ... all conjecture but, in my mind, without those we would have got Top 4 with room to spare in this particular season .. but that's football for you ...
We'd have finished 3rd with that points total last season ... so of course there is improvement there
Improve the overall quality and depth of the squad for next season and go again ...
... plus go into next season's FA Cup as holders ... much better than finishing 4th and dropping down to Europa ... but each to their own ...
All teams get injuries though mate. We had Aubameyang, Lacazette, Partey, Bellerin and Tierney out for long periods this season. And I'm sure every team can point to key players being out for them and how much higher in the table they would have finished had they been available.
Your FA cup win makes your season a success, because you've never won it before and it's always good to win a pot.
But missing out on CL football in such [HASHTAG]#spursy[/HASHTAG] fashion was a massive bottle job yesterday.
