Just looked up Haribo - now have an indelible impression of Tettey as a

happy yellow bear with a big red bow...

Saturday reinforced the overwhelming impression that this is a real squad with a decent overall standard. No star players, but providing wonderful flexibility & wealth of options for Neil as regards tactics.
Of course it does mean we don't have a Suarez (or even BGH) to turn a game, but you can still get the occasional Tettey screamer or RM (if he plays) cushioned volley from a corner.

I think Neil is slowly turning them into a team which is more than the sum of its parts - as did PL, but in a completely different way. AN is more rational, less instinctive.
