First tilt at europe since Lukaku left but it’s not good enough for top blues.

Guys Marco Silva had us in a very similar position to where we are this season. I'm confused why that keeps being ignored.

It wasn’t though was it, at no point that season was Europe ever on the cards. We didn’t ‘compete’ with any one that season. Spending the whole season in the top 6 then falling off it at the end of very different to lurking in the bottom half and winning a few dead rubbers with no pressure on them to finish 8th. That’s what Allardyce and Silva both did but it leads to nothing, you don’t progress from there. Ancelotti actually had a chance at something this season, those two never did. That makes it completely different in my book.

It would be if that was what happened, but Silva had us within a point of 7th until May.
Also I'm not really sure why finishing 8th because you had a bad first half and good second is so different from having a good first half and falling off.

Wish I was tbh
Finishing position yes, but we never had realistic prospects of european qualification that year. This year we threw it away when we had a great chance. Both unsuccessful seasons in the end, but Silva was certainly not sacked for his first season either. He was sacked because we had just got thrashed at Anfield and were in the drop zone a fortnight before Christmas.

Improved Pickford back to the player he was
Godfrey is knocking on the door of international football.
Keane is probably playing his best ever football (even though I don’t rate him)
Davies in his best ever form (even though I don’t rate him either)
Calvert Lewin gone from a player some thought should be in the championship to an England international and one of the top open play scorers in the prem.
The set pieces in both boxes have gone from one of the worst in the league under Silva to one of the best.
Our ability to hold onto leads has improved massively
We’ve conceded less goals from last season
Our league position has improved from last season
We’ve performed better home and away against the top 6 than last season (or any season)
WHERE’S DER PROGRESSION THO?!!!

We were 1 point behind Wolves in April! That's realistic!
I am looking forward to getting back to Goodison next season and going ole ole, Ancelotti

PLEASE
To be honest, I don't think you quite belong there. But neither would you on the impending Carlo's Cultists bingo card.
Maybe you could be the bingo caller? Someone has to be neutral.

You can use lots of stats to dress this up as an awful season as well as a great one. The actual fact is that we have been very mediocre.
I’ve no idea why anyone is trying to claim this season has been anything other than that tbh. The football has been a dirge for the most part. Some people like to be super fans I guess.
