If you look at the top four as its stands, it is easy to see why just fell short. The top end of the pitch, all the top four have perceived world class talents in Sanchez, Falcao, Aguero and Costa plus others that can come in when they are missing.
Dont let others fool you into thinking we are miles away, we are not. Effectively league wise we swopped with arsenal, they gained sanchez we lost suarez, its probably the difference between 4th and 5th (When you add in studges abscence).
Two top striker's/attackers to go with origi and studge and we should be ok.
So no CL next season.

Forget the poor transfers for a moment - A fit Daniel Sturridge would have surely got us an extra 7-10 points

Maybe if we didn't have the worst injury record of ANY team this season we might have got 2nd

"We are not relying on Sanchez"
your own supporters disagree
he's your game changer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're wrong here mate.
He carried us in the first few months when our injury list climb to another peak as usual. That is true.
After we had our players back we werent relying on him. He had a little dip of form in between.

and RvP at United is probably the best example
his first season they had him fit and won the league surrounded by donkey's. the two seasons after they didn't and finished 4th and 7th

That's also wrong. RVP is on a decline. Add his constant injuries. Currently I wouldnt swap him with Giroud who contributes more to our game than RVP ever did (apart from his final year at AFC).

"RVP is on a decline. Add his constant injuries. "
that's exactly what I said
the one year he was fit and on form they won the title
the last 2 with his injuries and decline and they've been a disaster

everyone takes corners. Even Barca these days

You're not fooling anyone with your so called corners. It was a shameful hoof

corners are a bit hooftastic admittedly
I prefer short corners or passing to the edge of the 18 yard box for a sneaky shot personally

We're a shameful side
