but if you analyse the qualities of the starting XI's of a mid table team like villa compare them to villa 5 years ago....the villa team now wins....easily.

That is total nonsense the team qualities dont have to do with anything if they all play 10 players behind the ball, villa aint the best example to use as there chairman cant do anything right and they have an over rated manager who is useluss with cash.
If you compare a lot of teams how they used to play and how they play now, it would be a lot attacking 5 years ago.
Just look at the goalscoring charts, take henry out and the rest of chart is very very poor for strikers scoring goals. I remember every season we used to have 5 or 6 players scoring 20+ goals. This season Henry who has it is easy due to the team around him and the style they play but take that out, just look at where the next good example is. Johnson 18 goals(8 pens).
