Do people remember points or league finishes?
The 72 points Martinez got could’ve finished 2nd in many Premier League seasons, ultimately we finished 5th.
You qualify for competitions or win the league based on your league finish.
In the 2017/18 season, we were the 8th best team.
In the 2019/20 season, we were the 12th best team.
This season, we’ll probably be the 8th/9th best team.
People remember league finishes, I agree, and we are dropping too many needless points this year.
However, if you’re going to come on here and act as though Carlos Everton side are worse than Big Sam’s, then you need to look at the facts more closely.
Big Sam’s team were horrendous to watch. We’re hardly free flowing football this year, but Jesus that Sam side barely bothered to attack.
You also need to consider what the gap is between us and the rest. We’re 5 points off 4th place and we have games still to play.
We were 26 points off 4th under Sam and he showed me absolutely nothing to suggest he was capable of plugging such an enourmous gap.
I honestly can’t see what planet you’re living on by making this argument. We’re just not even comparable to that team.
