So which is right

And then you look at the midfield. Hardly weak, was it Valencia and Park on the wings (the former’s a regular, the latter’s a fans-favourite), Fletcher (God) and Gibson (who provided our best chances of the game). So why were we so lackluster and uncomfortable going forward Sure, the ‘team bus’ approach by Rangers worked a treat, but we are better than them and more than capable to penetrate their defense. Aren’t we

On the outset, it was all so shockingly disappointing. There were yet more claims from Ferguson that the £80million from Ronaldo’s sale the previous summer was available. And with it more rubbish about the lack of value in this current transfer market. But value was found…in the form of complete unknowns Smalling, Hernandez and, most curiously, Bebe. All costing around £25million. The same amount that City spent on world class David Silva and the same amount we failed to cough up on Benzema the previous season. But there is no value in the market…

Something needs to be done, and I don’t necessarily think it’s got anything to do with the players. The player’s as we know are class. But the flow, confidence and overall quality is not quite.
