agreed
his newness, tactic-wise, helped win the CL, we were novel and unpredictable, and had many players stepped up all at once at the right time
but the league soon sussed us out, and we made a disasterclass buy (one of many over the past 7, 8 years) in Donkeykaku (and failed to buy Tchou) and then we also lost the beating soul of the team for this season when Rudiger left (I am more enraged now that more details have come out about that whole mess, it was Marina's parting gift)
