difference between us and those two clubs is that they can and most likely will sack their managers and you could see it leading to some improvement, they're not amazing teams but they've got some players there who can make a difference. If we had Benteke or Hernandez we'd be fine, but we don't.
Hemed probably scored more over all but I'm pretty sure Ulloa would have a better goals to games in the Championship, and his only full season was not in a great side. Pretty confident he'd have scored more than Hemed or Murray playing for us either of the last two seasons, or if he'd had a full...
Stockdale was awful in his first season, he lost weight and looked a lot better player the next two seasons (also he played behind a much better team). Not really a great comparison for Ryan.
I don't think we look any better today than we did against Man City, just with more of the ball. We look slow and toothless, can't string many passes together, no direction just hoping something will happen. We'll need to play a lot better than this to get anywhere this season.
