Big Ron getting the team playing well.

Shane Long looking like a premiership player at last.

VVD signing an extended contract.

Our front line is so exciting to watch.

 

 

-

No promising young players pushing for a starters place.

Cedric Soares not becoming a regular RB.

Jayrod situation is worrying.

Charlie Austin is injury prone.

Koeman showing again he is a class Manager and can work out how to turn around poor runs of form

 

Long giving us some pace and energy up front which has given us a different dimension

 

Return of Forster

 

VVD showing he is as good as Alderweireld IMO

 

Lots of home goals

 

-

Koeman' seeming reluctance to stay longer term

 

European fiasco

 

More than half of summer signings being disappointing

 

Poor away performances against bottom half teams costing an outside chance of a top 4 finish

I absolutely RUE anyone to find a negative in the season we've just had.

 

We've equalled our record.

 

We can all look at the negatives...but imho it's pointless.

 

There aren't really any negatives apart from our own expectations as individual fans possibly being a bit unrealistic.

 

And to have a pop at Austin is a bit early.

 

Yes, he's injury prone and we knew it..but lest we forget, he did cost us the price of a pizza in BPL terms.

 

He nearly went for £15M 6 months earlier. THERE IS A REASON WE GOT HIM FOR £4M.

Jesus..

Continuing to progress, albeit slowly. But progress is positive nonetheless.

 

Not ending the season with a slump in form, actually ending it with our best performances of the season rather than fading away

When we play sh!t, we are well and truly sh!t

 

Disappointing run in Europe

The wins against Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal. They were all, in their own way, brilliant.

A greater squad depth and tactical flexibility. We are as resourceful as we've been since the 80's

Long and VVD

Forster and J Rod returning from long term injuries

 

-

 

The cup exits were all terrible, but for different reasons

The nagging sense that this should have been the year that the CL was within grasp

The lack of young talent coming through and the performances of the youth teams

Minus

 

Performance in cups and Europe.

Classie, Soares, Jwp, No decent backup for Forster.
