Perhaps we lack a cohort of quality players in the age group 24 to 29 who can hack game after game? Whilst other clubs have that in spades.

I found that “rotation paying later dividends” argument attractive. It was said and I concurred that Arsenal, West Ham, Everton, Fulham and Villa would pay a price from February onwards in starting with essentially the same 11 (where they could) every PL game. Whilst we, tortoise and hare...
