The reaction from Klopp, the Liverpool players and fans today says different.
And I’m not telling Liverpool fans anything.
They’re light years ahead of us, clearly.
But what were the reasonable expectations for us this season?
Your baseline shouldn’t be The Invincibles. It would be nice to get to that level again but we are nowhere near that now. The only reasonable basis for comparison is last season. After that season what were you expecting this year, a title challenge?
Ultimately I want Arsenal to be competing for the biggest prizes, of course I do. But you’re not going to bridge the gap between us and the top teams in one season given where we started from. We are clearly a work in progress, but I do think there’s been some progress. If that doesn’t continue next year then fine, let’s try again with someone else.
