I'm going with the general consensus of 7. First and foremost, the culture has changed. There's one boss and his name is ten Hag. There's a togetherness, and I now enjoy watching the team. On the whole, they've worked hard and they've reaped the benefits of that.
In regards to achievements this season, third in the league, a trophy, final of the FA Cup and a good run in the Europa.
Think what let us down was:
- A bad start to the season
- Lack of goals
- Poor away record
I don't think we'll have such a poor start to the season again under ten Hag. I think he was maybe a bit naive about the EPL and has since found a way of winning games in a number of ways.
Lack of goals will hopefully be addressed with a striker signing.
Poor away record is the one we really need to improve on. Whether that's solidifying the team a bit more or, as ten Hag quite clearly pointed out, being better in the first phase, keeping the ball, and just being harder to beat. Get more energy into the side, and get a goalscorer who, in those tight games, can score a goal out of nowhere.
If we improve on all of those, then I think we'll give it a right go next season.
All in all, despite the result today, I'm happy with our season. We've showed progress, and ultimately, that would have been the target for ten Hag.
