[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1118283, member: 73144"] I think there’s something to this. Forget McVdM etc, but say look back to Robinson - he could conjure something out of absolutely nothing. Peak May too. For all the structures and perspiration you need a little inspiration too and even if it looks a little desperate right now I think that’s what Borthwick thinks Arundell might just be able to bring. BTW, nice to be reminded what Hogg could do too in the pre bad hair era. The Gerrard / Lampard analogies with Smith / Farrell are valid. It’s always about the balance to make the best team and that’s not always the 15 ‘best’ individuals. I’d even go a step further with Gerrard at club level. Fantastic, selfless player but so dominant that he seemed to inhibit those around him and only once he retired did the team really forward, although Klopp had plenty to do with that too. Sometimes I think the reputations of Farrell and Itoje in particular have a similar effect. [/QUOTE]
