If its that obvious, then point it out. Should be easy for you, but my guess is that you've got nothing to say.
I am confused to what your after?
I thought your post said we haven't progressed in terms of playing football?
We had Baros and Cisse running around like nobs, now we have Crouch with a touch and brain and Torres will ability and almost everything.
Mascherano is world class clear improvement on most of what we had, debatable with Didi but at least on par.
I feel physically and mentally drained after that and badly need sleep, ill remember this and come back to it tomorrow.
