I think that the, pretty consistent, poor league form disappoints people. A European Cup win would be great, but it doesn´t mean that fans can´t celebrate that whilst bemoan the league stuff.

It certainly disappoints people. I'm disappointed. I also can hold two truths at one time — we suck in the Prem and have done great in the EL. Not disappointed on that front.
Everyone's so fixated on the negative showing and few recognize the layers and nuance (depth, spend, luck).
I agree with you. I don´t have much time for the "we have to win something or it's shit" brigade. there are only a certain amount of trophies up for grabs, and its the money clubs that generally win them with the 2nd & 3rd tier ones left for the rest to fight over
I’m curious if the expectation was to finish top four/five in the league and make multiple deep cup runs. Do the injuries and being in a genuine rebuild not factor in?
We have been dogshit in the cups for ages and scrapping for league position to then get knocked out by the R16 or quarters in the CL. That’s a pretty vicious cycle.
Different expectations from all over the place, really. To me, it was to have a go in all competitions playing attractive stuff, Poch or Harry style. I love Ange and think he has been terribly unlucky with injuries. But some of this seasons games have been so flaccid and sloppy & disappointing
