Hold on though. You’re comparing to the squad we settled on not those who started

Franke, Husband, Marley f**king Watkins and Wildschut. And that’s without mentioning the ones who clearly had some footballing ability but were t**ts or injured all the time like Naismith, Jarvis and Pritchard.

But the crucial thing is we had some creativity in that side somewhere which we don’t now. Would still have been relegated without Maddison though.
