Won the league by double digit points but still conceded something like 51 goals Also in that game Karanka cleared a ball that was goal bound over the cross bar with his hand at only 0-1 Should have been a pen and a red card which would have completely changed the game but funnily enough the media barely mentioned it now if the boot was on the other foot.... |

One of the biggest factors back then, imo, was the goalkeeper. From Fatty Boy Bosnich to that clown Barthez, once Schmeichel left things all went a bit shaky at the back. He gave the defence that rock-solid confidence that wasn't seen again until Van der Sar was signed.
