Many argue we've got injured players back now, but besides Pirlo and to some degree Beckham, who were we really missing in the first half of the season that we have now? More importantly, he's not dealt with issues we've had for 3 years now. It's not just a case of the players we have, but tactical problems, motivation and inconsistency as well.

- Less "small" (2 weeks off) injuries in defence, which means that Carlo stopped to experiment and the defence seems ok for this end of season. Actually, until the injury of Kaladze, the defence changed many times because the guys got injuries for few days ...
- Pirlo and Beckham in the middle like you said ...
- What changed is also a healthy Kaka' who seems to be able to run again, to dribble, to pass and to score ...
- You also have Inzaghi who, like each year, is back in form when Spring days are back.
So, that's just 4 key players added + a "true" defence (they are solid even if we don't really play with the players expected at the start of the season). Nothing important of course ...
- Oh and I missed someone, you also have Flamini who is now able to play in the team (he had 3-4 difficult first months) in any position.
PS: And we still miss Gattuso, Nesta and Borriello who should have given even more solutions and rotation ...
