We have the same players a s last season bar Carrick, who hasnt done that much to change our fortunes. Scholes and Giggs have always been special players they are jus playing back to there natural level. Ronaldo is older and is playing better, Vidic has settled in.
Like we're being written off this year you mean? Yes, you finished above us by a single point but you had no champions league to concentrate on after christmas and no FA cup distracting you after Feburary.
The point you're making about your players is the same as I'm saying is capable of ours. What's to say that, come the start of next season, Kuyt, Pennant and Gonzalez won't be fully settled in?
What's to say that Kewell, who brought balance to the team, won't be back to his 'natural level'.
The article asks whether 3 pool players would get into the united, Arsenal or Chelsea side, that shows the level your team is at.
It's not a case of the individuals anyways. No one would have taken Baraja over Zidane and I'm fairly sure most people would prefer Essien to Carrick.
Reina will be a year older next year, Riise at the start of the season was considered a better player than Evra - then of course there's the Kuyts, Alonso's and Gerrards of the world.
Besides what have Liverpool shown in the league to suggest that 3/4th place isnt there natural position?
Nothing. What have United shown in the past few years to suggest that the last 16 is the most they're capable of, on a good year?
You expect yearly improvements and given that we've won the European cup and last season closed a 30 point gap to less than a 10 point gap it makes sense that some of us think we're closing the gap and moving in the right direction.
