Totally agree that they need to stop thinking about being Premiers and World Champs. They also need a relaxed approach to their games. I feel at the moment they are feeling under so much pressure to win that they are sabotaging themselves by making costly errors.
2008 (what a beautiful year) is in the past now, but we do have a great side for '09. If the team lives in the moment and plays simple good football they've got the troops to chalk up a lot of wins this year, despite the disasterous start.
