'Vardy had a more colourful phrase... I'll just say it was a fiasco'
- Published
Here's my quick assessment of Liverpool's Premier League season - and a return to my August predictions.
Pre-season prediction: 19th
Ended the season: 18th
Steve Cooper lasted five months after succeeding Enzo Maresca. Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced Cooper, and took Leicester down. Jamie Vardy had a more colourful phrase for it, but here I will just say it was a fiasco.
Performances were desperate. There was fan discontent. It was not the note on which Vardy wanted to end his 13 years at King Power Stadium.
Leicester's supporters are often accused of demanding too much. Whether this is true or not, they had every right to demand better than this on and off the pitch.
What I said in August: "Cooper and Leicester could defy the odds but it may well be a steep uphill struggle."
