2006 - 2009, how much has your team changed in 3 years?

Using Man City as an example, 3 years ago their team looked something like this:

Manager: Pearce



Sgoater1 can tell us what was their best XI back then.

Now they got a new manager and a much better team. So for Man City the change has been good.

What about your team?

2006: Manager + Best XI?

2009: Manager + Best XI?

You are obsessed with Man City Batman. Watch out for Goater following you around and replying to your every post.

FC Groningen 2006/2007

Manager : Ron Jans

Roorda

Silva - Sankoh - Kruiswijk - Van der Linden

Van de Laak - Lindgren - Lovre - Levchenko

Nevland - Suarez


FC Groningen 2009/2010

Luciano

De Roover - Granqvist - Jansen - Stenman

Van de Laak - Holla - Lovre - Andersson

Koc - Matavz


(Sankoh is still at the club but I expect/hope that he won't be first choice)

2006/2009

Reina

Finnan/Johnson - Carragher - Hyppia/Agger - Riise/Aurelio

Gerrard/Kuyt - Alonso - Sissoko/Mascherano - Kewell/Riera

Morientes/Gerrard - Crouch/Torres.

Opening day 2006/07. Martin O'Neill's first game.

Sorensen
Hughes-Mellberg-Ridgewell-Samuel
Barry-McCann-Davis
Agbonlahor-Angel-Moore


2009/10, going on what we have now (and who's fit), opening day line-up might be:

Friedel
Young-Cuellar-Davies-Shorey
Milner-Petrov-ReoCoker-Young
Carew-Agbonlahor

But I'm thinking/hoping we may have a couple of other new folk in by then.

The first day of 2006/07 I think we played like this. Eventually Guti found his way into the team on a pretty regular basis.

------------------------Casillas

S. Ramos----Cannavaro----Helguera----R. Carlos


Beckham------Emerson------Diarra------Cassano


-----------------Raul------v. Nistelrooy


There is still a lot to decide between now and August but at the moment:

-----------------------Casillas

S. Ramos------Pepe------Albiol------Marcelo


C. Ronaldo------Lass------Gago------Kaka


----------------Raul-----Benzema
