At no point did I compare that team to anything since... my thoughts were that that team, at that point in time was frankly very very good (if all fit and on form) - and that 10 members of it in a very short space of time (15 months) have left.
He only started to find form when he was slotted in at right back.
My point was that only 2 seasons ago that team would have been our best or close to it that we had out of Poyets squad, and now only 1 of those remains for various reasons.
It is not a criticism as we may bring in players of...
