I would agree that our BEST starting XI is at least equal to, or better than that of Inter. Not judging purely on either muscle or flair, but on all elements. They are more mechanical, we have more players in our formation who want to play, not just score simple goals through grinding the opposition down like a panzer tank. Whereas Inter are the opposite, especially after selling Ibra. Whose flamboyant technique often helped them to win games in which the opposition had blockaded their Steam Roller attempts...
I love Trezeguet. But there is no way I would rather have him than Eto. The african is much faster, probably stronger, and has shown at Barca, that if he plays with an ultra creative team, he will score more goals than games played, by the end of the season, or something close to it. I am loyal to Trezeguet, but not to the point of stupidity.
Manager wise. Mourinho is obviously superior. Due to his experience and success. He is not yet in the same league as Lippi, or Hiddink, or Ferguson...and perhaps he never will be, due to mainly his too regularly appalling arrogance, but also his lack of making teams play attractive football...but he is much more dangerous than Ciro. Presently. Unlike with Eto/Trez I would not be happier to have Mourinho as our manager, in place of Ciro, because he has no class.
