I mean on that basis we could have said we can win the title before the season started, of course we could but realistically there was zero chance.
You have to look at the factors involved, having a dreadful manager was always going to make it impossible to get top 4.
What, and Everton, having won 1 in 7 PL games (the win coming courtesy of Len), are challenging for top 4 now with 5 games to go and 9 points behind?
Ancelotti is better than Arteta, he’s proved it in his career and has also outperformed him this season.
Arteta can’t get near top 6, nevermind top 4, he’s an awful manager who didn’t even earn the chance to manage us, just because he coached under Guardiola people thought he’s be good, that’s a ridiculous reason to employ someone and it’s really blown up in our face.
Many called this when he got the job.
