I was firmly against the idea that we had to spend big and buy "marquee" type players to succeed and while it is still early, I am starting to worry that in this modern game that's exactly what we need to do. Look at Madrid's lineup against us, we are lucky we didn't give up 9 or 10. You start to watch the CL highlights and see how the established stars can affect a game and while I love that we have players that will likely be really good for us in the future, I am starting to worry about the now. I'm hoping that I'm just overreacting due to our recent struggles but I'm worried that our recent struggles are going to plague us all season and cause us to give back all the ground we made up.
All this and I'm typically an optimist.
