Play like your midfield boasts Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, even if your midfield consists of Grella, Culina and Wilkshire? 3) Play like Barca

Then we had a team with an average age of around 26, and Kewell was still quick. Now we have an old team with zero pace. I think we will be tough to score against but in terms of us getting goals, take Cahill out and the cupboard looks very bare. What a shame Rukavystia and Djite didn't break through. Sadly, both look further from that than ever. Big contrast with 2006. Then we had a team with an average age of around 26, and Kewell was still quick.

Not only is that our weakest position but our formation requires that our full-backs have to look to get forward, which means we select defensively weaker players like Emerton and Carney and space opens up behind them.
