Strength in Depth.
« on: November 06, 2024, 10:06:29 PM »
The squad might be bigger but is the strength in depth there.

Are we seeing this teams abilities just being normalised in its first testing set of games.  For all there are some good players Mr Emery had had to perform miracles to get them to this level. 

If you are honest though, some players now need to move on as not good enough. 

Carlos, Bailey, Cash, Buendia and even McGinn could do with being moved on.

I’m suddenly feeling this squad is nowhere near good enough.

It was more than good enough last season.

We have more depth than last season. No question about that. But for me the starting 11 is not bettee than last year. We were stringee with diaby and luiz starting.

We gambled hoping mings kamara and buendia couls fill the gap.  Buendia just seems we have moved on from him and doesnt possess the levels of last season. Mings after tonight he does worry me. Only kamara looks good out of the three.

I just do not undertsand how we let two players who contributed to over 15 goals go and didn't replace them.

Then there is the right back problem that yet again we did nothing about. Just countless mistakes in the summer.
