The main difference in my opinion is the fact the midfield was changing every week last season. The season before we had Tarbs, Barton, Samba and SWP/Mackie. They knew the roles and as such we created a lot more chances week in week out for Cisse/Zamora.
Last season the midfield changed every game. As such we often were overrun and when we did get the ball we lost it as players were not used to playing with each other. This obviously meant chances and service dried up for Cisse who had nothing to feed off. That is not excusing his effort and application but we gave him nothing.
