I'm sorry, valon, but we have 96 points gained almost exclusively against teams hiding out in their own half, and were a bunch of shitty refereeing decisions away from being in a second consecutive champions league final. the "zlatan fucked us" argument is monumentally ADD and based on the fact that he, while not being fit, was rubbish against inter and we've turned in two superb performances in his absence at villarreal and sevilla (but of course, rather than be positive and focus on bojan being brilliant, it's "oh zlatan is rubbish look how well we play without him!")
so far I can see the logic behind pep's move and our points total shows he's right. yes we've not been as magical as last season but we were always going to struggle to replicate that this year because 1. everyone was trying harder against us and 2. we never replaced henry and 3. iniesta's been injured/rubbish.
yeah zlatan can improve, and I believe he will improve. some of you lot obviously don't.
anyway, not too keen on signing dzeko however good he may be. he's already declared his love for another club, which is never something I like to hear from one of our signings
