We have looked decent during spells, but the team lacks midfield, lacks a striker. If we can get Ramires to form a good midfield partnership with someone and hope Pato revives this year in Brazil I think we might be set come 2014, but as things look now we won't get quarterfinals at a maximum.
Surely the aim has to be, to win the World Cup?
Obviously that's always the aim...for any team.
You need to watch Newcastle more.
