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

    What He hasn't got anymore though, since those days, is Bergkamp and Henry.
    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.

    Oh, it was never about money,, or "resources", as you say. That was always just a McGuffin, a mind game.

    For our strikers, and indeed all our players, clearly the SFC is responsible. But *not*, mark you, to *blame*.

    Yes, the team that went 49 undefeated with a back four of Lauren, Campbell, Toure and Cole. All inherited from George Graham.

    Yes.

    Yes.
    There are some similarities actually; both men arrived to find a very good back four and then successfully put together even better ones.

    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
