Dyer was very fast, had brilliant close control and was excellent at bringing the ball forwards from midfield. But his decision-making in the box and finishing were frustrating. His numbers were never as good as they should have been, and obviously he had loads of injuries. In a modern 433 he could play in Willock's position but probably on the LW as well. As one of a 2 in the middle of a 442 he probably had too much defensive responsibility to affect the game going forward as much as he could. Can remember thinking "Why haven't we tried this before?" when he played up front vs Southampton in the FA Cup. He scored a brace and looked amazing. Really talented player but his availability and end product were always the main frustrations holding him back.

Didn't do owt and got 13 points off 7 players

Barnes had been highly rated for years and had scored 10+ goals from the wing for a few consecutive seasons prior to us signing him. £38m is not too much for a proven PL goalscorer of that age. There'd been talk of £60m valuations before Leicester got into trouble. Whether we should be targeting a different profile of player is a different issue but if we wanted to buy Barnes then the fee was fine.

If you're going to bang on about wage bills to the extent you have then you can't claim 8th is par "with some bad luck" when we have the 8th highest wage bill.

No, all that matters is the wage bill. -
This. None of these competitions are anything like the Intertoto Cup.

Aye, ran from not far outside his own box

What would it explain?

This context is worthless without reference to the amount of goals we're scoring and how that compares to those seasons. We're conceding far too many but we're also scoring plenty. I'm not happy with performances either but only 3 teams in the league have scored more than us, so to ignore that and compare to relegation seasons is disingenuous at best.

The Wolves match seems an obvious blueprint for this one - let them pass it to death for lengthy spells and hit them on the counter. They only started looking the better side in the LC quarter final when we were knackered and our squad is in a way better place now. Think we can sneak it but hoping for at least a draw.
