Well, based on an impressive footballing display, we should be the team in 4th, we have been a lot better than chelsea and newcastle and quite a bit better than arsenal over the course of the season. Our biggest problem? Finishing chances.
It's quite clear Kenny doesn't think that much of Carroll as he came on in the 93rd minute in a must win game. A liverpool no. 9 that doesn't get to play in the big games. 35 million spent on a striker that evidently even his own manager doesn't rate. We won a cup, in for another, played pretty well over the course of the season, but if it was any other man the kenny at the help they would have gone at the end of this season for buying carroll. If that money was kept for even a half decent striker. We would probably be in 4th.
We are where we deserve to be. 7th place, with no chance now of top 4. We haven't played well enough, we haven't created enough, when we have created, we haven't taken those chances well enough. But I disagree strongly that we've been better than Chelsea and Newcastle. We haven't. And I don't think we've played pretty well over the season. We've been poor for the majority of the season, with the occasional high point.
