I would not assess it now. I have no clue, so I am not in the mood to give up, wave the white flag kind of thing. I just think we have to look after ourselves; just make sure that we play better football.
I want us to use the situation, don't feel the pressure, for whatever reason it is. The boys are incredible footballers and I see it as my job to create that atmosphere where they can be the best versions of themselves - and that's obviously how I have failed.
Did anyone expect us to become champions at the start of the season? No, but it developed in this direction.
Just to explain how different it is. We cannot go back to the point where we say 'yeah, well [qualifying for the Champions League] is good enough'. It is very good, but because we were so close, we are very, very disappointed in this moment in time.
