We moved over to project youth and started looking for a different style of player, profile wise, but we did better in Europe with those kids that we ever could with the Invincible squad.
If you look at our CL record when we had Henry and Co, it was appalling. I can't defend it. They were never mentally or tactically prepared and we'd always struggle to break teams down in the same way we struggle now.
Too stubborn to adapt and definitely the wrong sort of manager to coach kids in this era.
