We finished 8th the season before because Levy fucked our season by hiring first an assistant manager and then Ryan Mason, we were fourth under the competent coach. Ange spent hundreds of millions on players in the summer & january, got Porro for a full season and Udogie as well as the players he bought. So that immediately counteracts the Kane loss. Our best GK in the PL era? Come on. Lloris was a handicap by the end, I'm not Vicario's biggest fan on here but he's a much better goalkeeper in 2024 than Hugo was.
VDV, Maddison, Udogie, Vicario, Dragusin, Johnson, Werner, Solomon. Ange got backed more than anyone has been before last year.
More to the side of success than failure? Meh. We had one match a week. We went out of the league and FA cup extremely quickly and ended up a full 6 points ahead of Ten Haags United, a Ten Haag who spent an entire season on the verge of the sack and won the FA cup in the end.
