Great stuff IM. Lots of great points. As we have all been very critical of Greg - one thing I do think is fair to point out is that when Pepi was in form we looked very dangerous more like we did the last two matches and outside in form Pepi he has never had anything like Balogun out front.

His challenge tactically has been getting goal production and he's moved the attack pieces around and tried several options doing so. I think leaving Pepi home for Qatar showed to be a bad move as did whatever was going on with Reyna. The growth of the young guys along with the huge addition of Balogun and the possibilities with Reyna at the 10 makes this such a different team that may show in how he no longer has the head scratching adjustments. BJ needs to be a top assistant too hands down.

Last but not least I can't overstate how much Turner has improved as a leader in the back. The time at Arsenal, even with only getting 7 starts has done wonders( which i can attest to given i watch every Gunners match :)) . A huge issue at times last cycle was awful clearances, indecision with the ball at his feet and poor goal kicks. All of that has been cleaned up and he has a command back there like Timmy did. Not to mention his shot stopping is top quality and deserving of being an everyday starter somewhere in Europe.
