As a seasoned football analyst with a decade in the industry, I dissect the disastrous season of a Premier League club that promised so much but delivered so little. From the heartbreak of a last-minute FA Cup final collapse against Manchester City to a humiliating 1-6 defeat by Manchester United that cost them Champions League qualification, we'll break down the tactical failures and statistical anomalies (like losing 1-2 to Aberdeen despite an xG of 3.7 vs 0.1) through cold, hard data. This is more than just bad luck - it's a systemic failure that will haunt this club through what promises to be a turbulent summer transfer window.
