We were, but it wasn't like we were in free-fall. As it was, we're one of the few teams to ever go out on 10 points (for context, Spurs are in the final and got 7 in their group...).

We'd started well in the league and I was in Turin for the game that ultimately ended up getting him the sack - Nobody was calling for his head.

It's just lazy to suggest we were in a dire state, when we were closer to the leaders at that point than we were once Benitez left!

As for Sarri, to be fair I blame the board more for appointing him in the first place, it should have been clear it was never going to be a good fit for us. On paper he's not done badly, but that would ignore the detail (albeit I admit he's hardly inherited Brazil 1970 to work with either).
