Thought about this in the early part of the season After we lost Bale.
We should be more solid After losing 1 significant player, and getting 7 new ones.
Didn't turn out great though.
Okay, we were a bit unlucky: paulinho didn't turn the world around, lamela haven't had any minutes, Eriksen has been on and off and Soldado choked.
It turns out we are now a team without any world class players. Adebayor you say? He is very good, but not that good. He doesn't take the ball from the halfway-line and score goals all on his own.
Nobody in our team does that.
So let us look at the other teams:
Chelsea
Hazard has been brilliant in a somewhat struggling Chelsea. They won a lot of their games with 1 goal, and Hazard had a big say in those games, especially in the first half of the season. Chelsea have several other potential players, but not many have stand out this year.
Liverpool
They have a worse Squad Than us, and even a worse starting 11. But They have suarez and sturridge. They grow confidence that Even if They get 1 or 2 down They know these two will score and probably more Than once.
City
They have a very good team, and better Than us and most others, but the rely quite much on Aguero. When he was out They struggled much more.
Arsenal
Ozil was their superstar, but as he has faded the whole team is fading. They are starting to look vulnerable.
United
They are probably the one team with such players in Rooney and Van Persie, but They still struggle. Both of these were out for a number of games, and van P has been out most of the season.
My belief is that we need a new Bale, or similar, to be able to make it in the coming years. Only problem is that we wount attract such players. This means that we need excellent scoring and find someone undisvovered.
Maybe Koloplyanka Could be such a player?
