I don't think it's even close tbh.
JT had Danjuma, King, Rico, Surridge, Riquelme available to him. Only Danjuma is a big miss out if those. King has been shite for over two years.
CCV wasn't really available to JT for the vast majority of his time so I wouldn't include him in last season's squad when talking about JTs performance. Likewise Long.
Pearson, Cahill, Lowe, Christie, Rogers etc all improve us much more than the departures deplete us imo.
Then you have the kids, some of which were available last year but you couldn't really say JA and JZ were as key a part if the squad last year as this.
