If Insua is just decent and Carra ragged, and Johnson dodgy, and Lucas not good enough to get in a Birmingham eleven and Riera and Benayoun 'average' and Kuyt woefully inept, and Ngog a mile off the pace and the remainder pretty good or outstanding but generally injured or struggling form, have we had enough to be challenging for the league?
They're not my views but it just strikes me that people talk as if we should be challenging all the while rating our squad as distinctly average. It doesn't add up.

And yet last season we challenged for the title with those players ? (excluding Johnson).

Alonso was the key to everything, obviously.

Correct.
Imo its the players that ARE NOT contributing that are costing us. Players like Degan, Dossena, Babel, Voronin etc. If they were playing their part (or good enough) maybe injuries/loss of form wouldn't have been such a big factor this season.

Barry isn't a patch on Alonso...it's all Rafa's fault (wait, it kinda is in this case).
