So Benayoun, Kuyt,Riera and Babel were amongst the strongest midfielders in Europe? No Mascherano, Alonso and a 20+ goals per season Gerrard were. Our wingers back then were a lot better than ours now though.

It's been that long since he played I have a tendency to forget about him.... lol

Different kind of player, Kuyt was playing right wing then, Suarez doesn't. The only comparison would be an in form Torres and I'd have the latter any day.

You're missing the point. People are saying we are good enough for the top 4, I was comparing our last side that reached the top 4 to now and our current team is nowhere near the quality of Rafa's side.

Luis Suarez is better than Nando, Coutinho, Sturridge better than Voronin for sure...Moses better than Riera or babel.
