But it's not the same group.

I watched the team play last year as a drastically different team than the one that went to the cup final the year ago.

Right.

I mean, and you can go up and down that lineup and look at how like inferior they become.

Okay.

We do want to get to the other hire from yesterday.

Stop number seven.

Bonus marks to anyone that can name all six of his previous stops without looking it up.
