A peculiar point. In a good way. Though I dont resent the goal takers (forwards/strikers) I do feel that in many ways, the rest of the squad become the unsung heroes.
I have a liking of the midfield contribution to the squad, especially the greats of the past squads. One is compelled to ask themselves, "Yeah MVB was great, but would he or the squad be that great if it werent for the passes, say... someone like Donadoni would serve him?"
Keep in mind also that with the majority credit laid upon Strikers/Forwards, they also have the potential to get relentlessly attacked as in case of the title subject GILA.
