Yes, I know that, silly. But my Robert Burns reference wouldn't have worked then.

His undoing was rarely in his teams ability to attack and provide entertaining football r.
He just never got to grips with the defensive side of the game.
Blessed in the early days with an inherited back 4 par excellence, and let's face it, Campbell's signature wasn't exactly an inspired piece of talent scouting. Since those halcyon days it's all been a bit trial and error.. mostly error tbh.
Like Ozil and Sanchez?
I think most defences in the PL would have probably gone unbeaten in that season when you factor in the world class depth of talent playing infront of them.
Not to say credit where it's due. It was a good defense all the same but Campbell was undoubtedly the rock. Toure was prone to being a bit flakey at times but could rely on blistering pace to get him out of trouble.
why does he fail to see the glaringly obvious. even people like paul merson , to the intelligent ones like souness, have been saying for many years what is missing, but he doesnt want to change. its become boring, and stale. you can excuse is for 2-3 years, but seriously 10 years without a top striker ffs.
this is why im convinced he isnt as bothered about winning any more,
as if 2 is enough mate.
count how many are in other teams. our team is not balanced, and hasn't been for over a decade
'might even get second' , wow great achievement (!) and no we wont, we have won 5 out of the last 15 games since jan
