Two things that are affecting us in Europe: (In my opinion)
1) Pirlo. I love the guy to pieces, but Europe is so much more fast paced than Serie A. Pirlo is usually marked, pressed, and smothered and can't do anything. It would be nice to have a more athletic midfield powered by strength, pace, relentlessness. (Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah)
2) We need another tricky forward. Tevez and Llorente are great strikers but we rely on Tevez to do too much. Llorente had a great run in the CL this year and banged out a lot of goals, if we give Llorente a chance at net he'll net it. I'm really hoping that tricky forward is Cuadrado. Great with his feet and full of speed, as well as versatile. He could really help us unlock stubborn defences.
