We used to be famous for our ability to keep possession and create things (and not the sterile sort of possession we have now). Our weakness used to be our inability to defend. Now it's our inability to do anything.
Sounds like we are spending more money and getting worse players
Also..... you forgot Walcott. Of all the forward players possibly the most guilty of an inability to retain possession.
