What might have been

So it's the final game of a season that we have once again to a degree left the title on the pitch! But it is a new manager, one I wanted to come and definitely want to stay! Has he got everything right? No! It is however his first season and even a great such as Pep has to find his feet! For me the decisions that lost it this year in order of importance are:

1. Backing Sterling too much, as already stated that guy has left 10 goals on the pitch next to the trophy and subsequently at least as many points!

2. Although I was one who was ready for Hart to leave, his choice of Bravo was a mistake! For that guy just hasn't got it!

3. Earlier on in the season whilst Vinnie was injured not putting more emphasis upon Zaba as our captain giving us a backbone which was very much missing in some mid-season games.

4. Once Jesus arrived upsetting Sergio rather than Sterling.

Things out of his control:

1. Kompany's injury problems.
2. Sergio's spat against Chelsea at home.
3. Fernandinho's disciplinary problems early season.
4. Jesus' injury once he arrived.
5. The establishments witch hunt for us as a club.

Anyway lessons to learn for everyone and just a shame we aren't dominating more through a golden era! With some games like united away at Barca at home being an utter delight to watch, as on sheer entertainment factor alone it has rocketed since 'Mr Fizzy water' who regular will readers will know I didn't love!!!

The game itself was a walk in the park really for something that could have had an edge for 3rd is just that much better than 4th allowing you to relax somewhat through the summer! They put out a load of kids because there manager didn't really care as he was already sacked, which obviously suited us! We then used this to our advantage playing some, at times, beautiful football against a pretty piss poor opposition. All the right faces scored in this much more balanced line up and what might have been if this shape had been able to play together more this season.

Well enough said really and another season is put gently to bed! Man of the season for me being Silva as we say goodbye to the man of the decade in Zaba! Here's to next season and a bright future, Goodnight!The Couch!
