5th place, highest scoring away win, Europe, and golden Boot winner!

[Blueman1967]

If you happy with 5th great, but there was Champions League there, still losing to the big teams, when it matters

[Torten]

We got £80m upfront for Maguire without any European football, I sense that if we do lose any of our better players we will be very well compensated.

[Pliskin]

We can be as positive as we want, however, the collapse needs to be addressed. Because if we can’t pick ourselves up we’re in trouble next season.

For me, that’s the downside to the season. The vultures will come for our best players, while we won’t be able to attract the players that will improve on our already excellent core without the lore and cash of CL football.

 

UP THE FOXES! 
 

To be fair , that's not strictly true.  You say we need champions League to add to the core of he squad (which is deemed good enough) yet we didn't have champions League to get those players in.  If our scouting system is good enough, champions League football doesn't really matter in terms of getting excellent players in.

That's like being with a women who's a 9 out of 10 for a long time and then getting together with a 4 out of 10 and saying, ah well at least she's a women? 

I mean if we're going to use that analogy (and we probably shouldn't but I'll humour you). It's a bit like being a 2 out of 10, and dating a 2 out of 10 for years, and then getting together with a 10 out of 10 once, her leaving you and you ending up with an 8 out of 10 and whinging about it because you have delusions of grandeur.

Let's try and be positive here, we've had a great season until coronavirus intervened! Just a couple of months ago we didn't know if the season would even end (maybe it would have been better if it hadn't!) but here we are, the second most successful season we've had in the Premier league, even with lots of injuries! Roll on next season ⚽ 

can't really complain at that can you European football a record win a golden boot we just fell off the rails after restart because mainly of injuries to key players, I’m proud of this achievement it will only make us push harder next season as an almost made the CL again?

 

Who knows with Brendan bringing in a few decent players if we can get Jovic and a few more to rebuild let go of the dead wood get a winning mentality back.

You know what? Now that I think of it I'm actually thrilled that we got into Europa League. I would've loved CL but the quality of teams in that competition is too high for us now. Europa League is winnable for us next season with a bigger squad with more quality 

[The Horse's Mouth]

WE JUST BOTTLED THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WITH A 14 POINT GAP AND YOU WANT US TO BE POSITIVE WITH THE WOUNDS STILL FRESH? **** ME LOOOL ****ING **** ME

Yep. Got to look optimistically ahead of next season. People concerned that some of our big players will leave. Let them go if their heart isn’t in it. The only irreplaceable for me is Vardy.

 

Need to bring in some quality and beef out the squad.

Actually no... Its like if you were a 2 out of 10

..but then you fixed up your teeth, hit the gym and perhaps got some plastic surgery (got a good owner and attracted some decent talent and won the league) Then dated a 9 out of 10 for 80% of the time and then ended up with a 4 out of 10 even after you've made all that effort hitting the gym and spending money on sorting your face out

I feel sorry for MY CLUB, I get being positive but now is not the time. I genuinely, GENUINELY don't get how you can just turn around and be like yeah this is great when the wounds are so fresh. IMAGINE, IMAGINE posting after the deeney goal in the play-offs and going "Yeah the championship is alright, great league". It's ****ing baffles me, how can you not be fuming.

Because I am philosophical, realistic, and I know that the entire club will have been doing its best. There are lots of thread for you to be negative in, it isn't your place to tell us off for not being so.

Don't worry. I fvcking hate bottling CL but it is what it is. No amount of forum rage will change that position for us.

Then you lack imagination or empathy.

[Number 6]

Honestly don't think it would have affected recruitment anyway. We're Leicester, people would have expected us to drop out in the group stages and we won't match traditional top 6 on wages. Our worst ever window was the one after we won the league. 

 

Got to go invest in the right areas now, someone like Sarr or Deulofeu from Watford would be nice. Also desperately need some striking options.

 

Still a great season overall, though the downwards trend is worrying. We've seen how momentum can carry you one way or the other and we don't really have much of a break.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Imagine this apologist, defeatist mentality in the squad in 15/16. 

 

"2nd place! Best ever finish! Vardy scored 20!" 

 

Stop dressing it up for anything it's not. It's shit and you know it.

The pain of suddenly realising we're confined to another season of championship football far outweighs the disappointment I'm feeling right now of having to make do with EL over CL

Nothing to do with corona. Could see this coming a mile off (I personally put money on us not finishing top 4 on the way back from a dismal defeat at Burnley) and that’s the concern: this wasn’t over a condensed lockdown spell, it’s been since December and we’ve not been able to address it.

 

If you’re happy with 5th then it’s a small-time mentality. I get it’s a decent consolation but if you’re willing to ignore the last 19 games because we managed to still end up 5th despite being so poor for so long then you’re kidding yourself.

Absolutely. I remember being told by a Burnley fan that I was too negative when I told him we would finish 5th or 6th after that game but it seemed inevitable to me, and we haven't improved since.

 

I'm worried about us taking this form into next season.

[Nalis]

Positive point - People talk about us losing players due to not offering champions league football but we might be able to attract decent players with the draw of the Europa League. Obviously not the same but its a better selling point we've had as a club than

 we we've ever had bar winning the league, even then you could argue potential signings might see this as more sustainable than 2016.

I don't get that though, we have only so many chances to get back into the champions league. This was it, the competition will change you only get moments like this. In the championship you'd always have a chance of getting out of the league. I'm not UNGRATEFUL for any form of EUROPEAN football let's not get it twisted, but I don't get this relentless mindset to switch it round and go "yeah we've massively ****ed a season,but europa is good" and so soon after the match, I just don't understand, i'm so confused.
