One trophy out of four and the one least defended. Not too impressive, considering we have the "supposedly" best manager in the world...Or have we ?...

Very short memory there. First side to win every domestic trophy not much more than a year ago. There's no manager that has won every trophy, every year. We have the best manager, with the best record, playing the best football, with the best haircut.

Gavin, he was brought into win the euro. We have had two managers that have won the prem but that was not enough, they were both sacked... Having pretty good records, on past results...

No, that's simply not true!  Last season we lost Kompany and had Laporte and Sane injured for the season.  Do you really think Liverpool would've won by 18 points if Mane and VVD were out?  The true test is how the team responds to this.  There's a massive difference between excuses and reasons

you've also got to take into account the relative failings of the teams around us.  Ots been an awful year for so many of the established, which has lead to a lack of competition against a very strong Liverpool team.
