Right - which is why we must have those couple of extra 'backbone' players to give us that extra bit that results in getting trophies. Wenger is right in that we are close, but until we have the key motivating players in the right positions (CB, CM) then we are going to keep just being close. It is not a disaster but we do need some enforcers. Success has come to teams with people like Adams, Keane (Roy), Vieira, Terry to drive them if heads start to drop or if someone needs to drive forward and show the way. OK some of them are total cunts but their sides get the results that tip the balance.
