Because of all those reasons that's why was expected. We've just brought players willy nilly..seems little thought into who and why we've brought them just we have cause they may have had a good performance a few times..or seem expensive so must be good who knows the game plan. But there hasn't been one. Spending money doesn't make a good team! We don't have the performance or players to compete with other teams consistently atm and be up there where we should be. That's why feel we're where we should be..money aside.. performance level...is crap! Okay we did well against City and Spurs but no good doing it now and again.
Start of season when media and pundits did predictions here and there not one said we'd be top 4. Maybe top 6...but not top 4
And like say leadership..that isn't there
