Both our league wins were a big struggle. Of course winning it in at the very last minute was amazing and seeing Liverpool throw it away was fun as well but like you say, with all the money and great players we are yet to dominate the league like we could and should.
We need to be a team not just some excellent players who when on form produce some great results. Watching us midweek against Madrid summed us up. Just no hunger or fight what so ever.
Pep has a big job on his hands and not to sure he understands how big job it will be. Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and Utd will all come back stronger next year and teams like Leicester, Southampton and West Ham will be strong still. Not a league like Spain or Germany where only 2/3 strong teams. Big test for him
