we have relied on star players finding a bit of magic. that's not a formula for success, it's a gamble. our luck will run out at some point. it would be better if we had a team coached to attack in a coherent manner. in a way, I'm glad to see the back of larsson, because I'd much rather see saha leading the line. so, I suspect, would rooney.

You're going off at a tangent now ffs!
Since the loss at Arsenal we've only played 5 league games; two utter cruises with a few squad players chucked in either side of the Spurs game. And then two late steals in classic 99 style at Fulham and Liverpool.
We were the better team against Lille though hardly showed it, especially for long spells at OT. And our reserves scored more in 10 minutes at Reading than Reading managed in the rest of the game.
My point really is that of the last 6 games only 2 have been in the league which is our only true ambition for this season. Not really surprising all these other games have side-tracked us.
I'm buzzing about Roma, but Bolton is far more important.
