              Well it's true, but also pointless, I agree. A lot of **** has happened between then and now and there is no point crying over spilt milk.

                Exactly time to move on now.

                We were only a few player's away from a championship winning side up Roy Evans but I don't see the point in starting a thread about that either

                  Totally different side and formation and outlook this coming season.

                  There's more to be positive about than negative.

                  We were damn close in 2008/2009 but that time has past and we must look forward to having a real go this season.

                    5 of the players are the same.
                    the question mark has been replaced by one of the best players in Europe and looks like we are about to sort the LB situation out to.

                    Torres and Masher turned out to be ****s.

                    I think i would take this current squad by the end of the window than the one of 3 years ago.

                      Yet we handed the league on a plate to manure with Rafa's team. The KEY difference between then and now is not the players. Its the manager. Apologies if this is coming across is Rafa bashing, not trying to make it so. Just trying to turn this post around to a positive note.
                      One tit for another.

                        Central mid is infinitely weaker, but its not anything we don't know. Carroll is never going to have the Torres impact, but thats not anything we don't know.

                        But yeah, stick Suarez into that first line up and Konchesky (), you have world beaters, but thats not anything we don't know.

                        I wonder if the LB position is the next priority, or if its been downgraded in its urgency somewhat since Johnson did a good job and the younger players gaining experience last year. I also wonder if Kelly is going to be given a chance as a CB this season too. Interesting the possible permutations.

                          Remember these guys?



                          /futile discussion.

                          It will be FAR more interesting and relevant to wait until the end of August then compare our squad with that of 12 months ago.

                          I could not dig, I dared not rob:
                          Therefore I lied to please the mob.
                          Now all my lies are proved untrue
                          And I must face the men I slew.
                          What tale shall serve me here among

                            Although its not a squad that jumps out and yells world class, there are some players there who can be rotated more on a like for like basis, and who can play in different positions depending on the formation.

                            Rafa's steamroller period was amazing, but when rotation was needed, the squad was lacking. Thanks for that H&G.
