Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Then you and I definitely think differently. As of January the 2nd we had no cover at all. We had a single (out of position) player playing up top because our single number 9 was out for the season. Bearing in mind at that point we were still in three competitions with, perhaps another, what?.... 30 games to play? I don't think it is anything like sensible to expect to be able to play all of those 30 odd games using that same player. Remember also that if we were to make 4th we had very little room to slip up and if we want to win a trophy we also need to play our strongest team, so the only player who is adequate up front would've had to have played every game for the rest of the season.Maybe your right
I don’t think we did anything wrong working on the assumption that we can had cover and looking at the mediocrity available in January the club stuck with the plan
As I said before Villa lost one of their two centre forwards to injury so went out and signed another two! Man Utd lost theirs so went and got one.
We are obviously fine missing out on CL football and winning nothing.
