Struggling to explain his genius to the hoi polloi
Nobody is speaking about the CL here, but the EL, which we managed last season with a strong last third of the season. Ironically it was the competiveness of the league´s midtable which made it possible because the teams ahead of us contantly took points from each other. In terms of strength on paper the circumstances are actually quite similar. Chelsea´s squad should normally comfortably be good enough for top 4. Same as us last season.The difference is that it is easier for the better sides to win games home and away in Germany. Even in he best of times, top teams drop points in this league. To come in the top 4, they need a sequence of wins I don't think any team in this league is capable of.
