Increased competition? None of our midfielders are good enough to lace Leon's boots, let alone replace him. If Clement really thinks Fer, Carroll et al are better, we're ****ed.
 
I was more concerned with the tactics, which were a throwback to the Paulo Sousa regime when we used to try to bore the opponents (and fans!) into submission!
Sousa put grit in our defence that Monk, Tatey & Roberto could not. Sousa was given wrecks and his beens to work. Everywhere he went after UK were free scoring and exciting. Would have him back any time.

I agree about the defence. We benefited for several seasons from his input. Overall though, we had to sit through some dire football during his reign.

Agreed but for the reasons beyond his control.
He really gave Roberto's approach the missing element that Rogers exploited.
And he he did it while battling a scheming captain.

Everton will finish much higher than us once they click.......We are the ones that keep selling our best players when we shouldn't and then the green eyed monster appears with loads of Jealousy because Everton has a vision and are strengthening their team.....We on the other hand prefer to weaken ours with has beens and YTS player and loanees that is costing us a fortune....
