I agree with most of that, but yesterday was fucking tragic. That's the fourth time this season they have conceded three or more goals in the second half. Such a soft touch.
I don't want them to just make the numbers up in the CL, like Newcastle, and gain very little from it. It's a lot to expect a squad to go from ECL to CL in one season. Logically it would make more sense to cut our teeth in the EL first, but I understand the financial benefits of the CL coverage cash, especially with PSR having such an impact this season.

I get the frustration, but we are far from the only team to do that. We've still lost fewer points from a winning position than pretty much every side I think.
New CL format might be helpful to hang in there longer than Newcastle and, yeah - the psr cash is pretty vital if we don't want the team to be stripped.

This is the best season for years and years! Still 90% chance of top5 and realistic CL qualification. Chance of a European trophy. Best manager in forever.
Sure - a bit of a stumble currently, but look at the players missing.
A couple of years ago we were mid table championship. Enjoy the ride.
