To say we only have a plan A and no plan B is not a criticism; it is a compliment as to how well Nuno and the team have worked out a way to win games with a squad that is still probably 10 places high than we expected and performing 3 years ahead of schedule.
The frustration is having been so close for so long it’s just a shame we seem to have run out of breath on the final straight.
Any European competition would be a fantastic success BUT the fact remains the average earnings for CL is £80m and Europa league is £20m.
That’s a massive difference for a club of our commercial size.
Let’s hope for some luck at palace followed by two easy wins to avoid last-day cardio issues.
